Ep434: The Fruit Stand That Became a Movement: Shannon Houchin on Community, Chaos, and Customer Love

Shannon Houchin is the founder of Roadside Republic, a 7-figure seasonal business built from a single peach stand and a whole lot of hustle. After launching her first stand in a gas station parking lot with no investors and a $1,500 setup, she scaled it into a multi-state roadside empire—with pop-up tents, a storefront in Fort Worth, and a cult following for fresh, Texas-grown produce. Shannon’s been featured in Entrepreneur and Inc. and is on a mission to bring back the American roadside as a place of freedom, grit, and good fruit.
