Ryan’s Barkery (Ry’s Ruffery) scores Barbara Corcoran Shark Tank Deal

Ryan’s Barkery

Ryan’s Barkery sells fresh all natural canine dog treats, baked every morning and delivered to pet shops. They start at 5 AM to make sure they get the treats done.

So far, they have sold 200 bags of treats. They cost $.30 each to make and retail for $4.00 with 8 treats per bag. They tried selling at the Super Market and they found out it was better to take out any middle man and get them direct to the dogs.

The people buying at parks are continuing to call and buy more. He has his mother as an investor, with $200. He is paying back.

Robert said Mr. Cuban says if you want to do this, you have to quit school right now and do this full time!

• Daymond John – warns Ryan before taking Barbara’s money that it is a big responsibility.
