When the sharks asked Dean why he buys Joe’s suits, he described how he hates to shop, but the Bello Verde service made his unique build look good while making the process easy.
When the sharks moved onto talking numbers, Joe told the sharks that his company is expected to reach about $2 million in revenue before the end of that calendar year.

Lori Greiner was next to go out because she didn’t want to be in the men’s suit business. Robert Herjavec was confused by the business plan, and he went out next.
