The Profit - Mr. Cory's Cookies Update

Tonight on The Profit, Marcus Lemonis is in Englewood, New Jersey hoping to make a deal with Mr. Cory's Cookies.  Mr. Cory's Cookies is owned by Cory Nieves who is a 13-year-old entrepreneur and his mother.  The company is going through growing pains and Cory's mother is resistant to change.  They have also missed a lot of opportunities to expand in retail and with recipe development.  Their product is made with all-natural ingredients causing a short shelf life and the inability to distribute the cookies.

Let's take a look at some information related to Mr. Cory's Cookies as well as what kind of deal was made on the show.
