Have you been missing Shark Tank? Well the wait is over, on Friday January 8^th at 9pm Shark Tank will return with a whole new batch of entrepreneurs ready to pitch their businesses to the hungry sharks. The Sharks will decide if they will fund the business with their own money.

This week we will see Dorene Humason and her business The Chef in Black. After working hard to launch The Chef in Black Jaden Chinese Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix, and getting the salad dressing into stores she learned that her packaging was offensive, it featured a cartoon of a Japanese prostitute. Needless to say this was a big hit to her bottom line, she had to pull the product from stores and redesign the packaging.

Marix Stone and Dr. Nancy Tanchel and their business Hells Bells, which sells custom made 3D helmets.

Romp n’ Roll is a business run by husband and wife team Michael and Babz Barnett. Their business offers a facility for parents and their children under 5, to learn about art, music and sports (just to name a few).
