The Profit - Bowery Kitchen Supplies Update

Tonight on The Profit Marcus Lemonis is in New York, New York with hopes of making a deal with Bowery Kitchen Supplies.  Bowery Kitchen Supplies is a kitchen supply store located in Manhattan that is in danger of closing after the owners' (Howie Nourieli and Robyn Coval) divorce.  Howie is having trouble treating Robyn as a partner despite each having a 50/50 share.  When Marcus gets there he sees issues with the store design and inventory and discovers that Howie goes on vacation for about two months a year.

Let's take a look at some information related to Bowery Kitchen Supplies as well as what kind of deal was made on the show.
