Kevin highlighted that the success of Brenda’s franchise relied on online sales. He repeated that he hated the idea of the product in retail, and thought she should continue focusing on labels. Brenda countered that by saying it would be a huge opportunity.
Lori said she could try it out, but if she got inventory stuck in a store that didn’t sell through it would end up being a big loss. Robert Herjavec pointed out that Brenda had $2 million in recurring revenue per year from the labels. The retail focus made him go out.
