Chicago-area Pet Food Store Appears on "The Profit"

The most recent episode of CNBC’s popular reality show “The Profit” featured a Chicago-area pet food chain.

Marcus Lemonis, a serial entrepreneur who stars in the show, has partnered with Bentley’s Corner Barkery, which has locations in Chicago and some northern suburbs including Libertyville, Glenview, Arlington Heights and Long Grove, and business owners Lisa and Giovanni Senafe.

According to a news release, Bentley’s suffered through a variety of poor business decisions, but has a quality product and has allowed Lemonis to take control of their business operations.

“Partnering with Bentley’s and becoming involved in this vibrant and creative natural pet food business is an exciting, new opportunity. While the healthy product offerings speak for themselves their business process was failing due to lack of consistency and clear leadership, hindering their success,” said Lemonis, a Lake Forest resident. “This is a great example of why it’s the combination of people, process and product that are essential to a successful business model.”

The episode featuring Bentley’s first aired on Wednesday following the GOP debate, and will be aired again on Tuesday, November 3 at 9 p.m. central time. It will be rebroadcast throughout the week.
