Jones Scones Shark Tank Pitch
J. Jones went to school in England and fell in love with his local bakery. When he moved back to the US for law school, he discovered that the coffee shops in America primarily sold scones that tasted like compressed sand. You've heard of scones but perhaps can't recall exactly what they are. Scones are a pastry often eaten as a quick breakfast, common in Britain. J used his baking skills to create authentic scones like the kind found in England, calling them Jones Scones.
At one point, J was selling $113k in scones a month. J expanded into California and changed manufacturers, which ended up having issues that J couldn't financially support, forcing J to scale back. Jones Scones did $75k in revenue two years ago and $65k in revenue last year. Currently, J does $5k in revenue per month through six whole foods in the Denver area.
J has been in business for ten years with only one year of over $100k in revenue. J believes he will get his team right and the business will improve. The sharks all find J very likable, but as an investment, four sharks go out, and J thanks the sharks and leaves. Mark never said he was out, granted he was going to, but it's still funny.

Jones Scones After Shark Tank
In an interview with inthesharktank.com https://inthesharktank.com/2013/05/post-tank-qa-j-jones-jones-scones https://youtu.be/BtkbZjMW0GY J mentioned that as he was relaunching Jones Scones, he noticed his skin was turning grey, and it turned out his body had been battling colon cancer for one to two years. J released a YouTube Link Preview
inthesharktank.com video before airing on Shark Tank mentioning he was diagnosed with colon cancer five weeks before filming and had surgery the day after he found out. J decided not to bring it up to the sharks. J Jones said that he sang to the sharks but it didn't make it on air.Link Preview
YouTube
J shows off some singing on his YouTube channel. His last video related to Jones Scones was in 2016 with an idea of how to get into Starbucks. The last Tweet from @JonesScones https://x.com/JonesScones https://www.facebook.com/JonesScones and post from Facebook Link Preview
@JonesScones was in 2018, which appears to have been the end of Jones Scones.Link Preview
Facebook
According to J's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/divorceandcustodysuccesscoaching, he has continued practicing law in the Denver area over the years and appears to specialize in divorce. I would imagine J still enjoys making scones now and again.Link Preview
