FoCo ‘Shark Tank’ doughnut firm eyes Denver shop

DENVER — The Dough Bar LLC, a Fort Collins-based snack-delivery service and bakery that does business as The Doughnut Club, is planning to open a second brick-and-mortar doughnut shop in Denver River North neighborhood, according to a Business Den report.

Husband and wife team Marquez and Ondrea Fernandez were featured on a 2018 episode of ABC’s “Shark Tank” and won a $300,000 investment from the television show’s Barbara Corcoran.

The Fernandezes moved the business to Fort Collins last year. In October 2019, The Dough Bar filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection but the owners vowed to restructure and stay in business. The Fort Collins shop has been temporarily closed since last year.
