Fridge Fronts Shark Tank Pitch
Jan Augenstein does home renovations in Yellowsprings, Ohio. Jan created an inferior product that is more appealing to customers when finances are tight like during the current bad economy.
Her product is Fridge Fonts, magnetic designs to liven up an ugly fridge. Jan brought the ugliest fridge you could find to demonstrate what an improvement Fridge Fronts make.
Jan's brother liked the idea enough to put $250k into Fridge Fronts over the last six years.
Jan paid $18k to have Fridge Fronts advertised in SkyMall, which generated $40k in sales. However, it made no profit due to supplier issues. Fridge Fronts went through several other issues in its journey, including website crashes and a supplier bankruptcy that locked up Fridge Fronts' inventory.
Barbara and Kevin Harrington came in like knights in shining armor to save Fridge Fonts.
