The Cookie Dough Cafe – A Shark Tank Update
The Cookie Dough Cafe is a cookie dough company that has been making waves on Shark Tank. It offers gourmet edible cookie dough in retail locations and online. Since its appearance on the show, the company has become a huge success, earning a whopping $5 million a year.
The Cookie Dough Cafe sells four varieties of edible cookie dough. One of its most popular flavors is chocolate chip. A variety of vegan dough is also offered. Another product the company sells is a “Dough-to-Bake,” which is an edible cookie dough made with real butter and chocolate chips. This cookie dough is available in grocery stores throughout the country and in online outlets such as Amazon.
Before appearing on Shark Tank, the Cookie Dough Cafe had only been selling single pints of cookie dough. But after appearing on the show, the company expanded its product line and added smaller-size cups of edible cookie dough. In addition to selling edible cookie dough, the company offers a variety of other products.
When the Cookie Dough Cafe first appeared on Shark Tank, the sisters had only sold about $24,000 in sales. During the two-week period in which they were on the show, the two sisters expanded their business by nearly 75 percent. They went from having only 25 stores to having a total of 75. Their most recent orders are more than they have ever sold in one month.
They’ve grown to sell their edible cookie dough in hundreds of retail locations across the country. They’ve also partnered with Echo Valley Meats, which supplies the meat that they use for their product. As a result of the deal, the company is selling its products to Echo Valley Meats, which then distributes them to consumers.
Before going to Shark Tank, the sisters had already invested $35,000 between them. However, they were looking for an additional investment to help them with their packing process. They requested a $50,000 investment in exchange for a 20 percent ownership stake in the company.
Julia and Joan say that they have a family history of entrepreneurship. They’ve been working together for more than a year. They plan to invest the $50,000 they received from the Sharks to purchase new packaging equipment. According to Julia, they will eventually seek a partner.
On the program, the sisters hand out samples of their product to the sharks. Julia says the dough is made with no eggs. After the show, Joan said that she and Julia will be seeking a 20% equity stake in the company.
Despite their failed agreement with the Sharks, the Cookie Dough Cafe continues to grow. The company now sells its products in over 700 stores in the United States and Canada. Originally, they sold their product only as a single pint, but they’ve added smaller-sized cups of dough and a “Dough-to-Bake” product. Unlike most ice cream companies, the Cookie Dough Cafe doesn’t have an egg in its cookie dough.
