Babz and Michael entered
The sharks wanted to know about sales. Babz told them that they currently had ten locations, with two corporate stores and some franchising.
In the previous year, the sales had been $1.2 million, with a profit of 30%, not including salaries.
Robert Herjavec was interested in how much they invested in marketing. Michael said it was only 1%, with Babz saying they were focusing a lot on ‘mommy marketing’.
Kevin O’Leary wasn’t sure the business model would work out in the long run, and went out. Daymond John went out because it wasn’t the right fit for him.
Kevin Harrington went out because he didn’t see it appealing to the national market. Barbara Corcoran said she couldn’t get over how her local Gymboree had just closed, so she went out.
Robert was the only shark remaining, but Babz and Michael were focused on trying to get the other sharks back in.
He took that as a sign of them not being prepared and focused, but he still made them an offer of $300,000 for 51%. Babz and Michael went to confer in the hall, while Kevin O. offered to join the deal.
The business duo countered with $300,000 for 20% but Robert and Kevin stuck to their deal, and went out. Babz and Michael left
