The Profit - 2 ª Season

A former real estate investor and car enthusiast, Pete Athans, sunk his entire life savings into building a high-end used car dealership in Morton Grove, IL. Unfortunately, financing a fantasy dealership left him short on cash; now he struggles to fill his lot with cars. To make matters worse, his micromanaging style prevents his employees from doing their jobs. Marcus Lemonis will either be the driving force this owner needs to change his ways or this business will crash and burn.

This week, serial entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis travels to Brooklyn, New York and visits A. Stein Meat Products, a second-generation business run by two lifelong friends. Last year, this $50 million-dollar-a-year meat wholesaler somehow managed to lose $400,000. At A. Stein, Marcus discovers a company that offers a great product but has grown so fast, they're unable to track the tens of thousands of dollars that go in and out every day. Can Marcus Lemonis save this business or will these two butcher boys be forced to close their doors after 40 years?

Michael and Tina Sena are a fitness-obsessed couple with a great little gym right outside of Chicago. And while they help clients shed weight, they can't seem to figure out how to build a healthy profit. Maybe one of their problems is that this husband and wife still can't figure out how to work as a team. Marcus Lemonis arrives with a plan, but getting them to accept change may turn out to be harder than their workouts.

A trailer business in Tampa, FL specializing in food concessions is being driven into the ground by two owners in a toxic partnership who compete for control. The business itself is also divided with the owners located 260 miles from where the product is manufactured, creating inefficiency across the board. Can Marcus Lemonis bring these owners and the two sides of the business together?

Brothers Steve and Peter Koehl run Skullduggery, an Anaheim, CA based toy, craft kit and fossil replica manufacturer, owned by their father since 1987. Despite selling $1.6 million in toys last year, the brothers can't manage to turn a profit, and lack of imagination and poor decision making are holding the company back from getting into a big box retailer. Can Marcus Lemonis help these brothers put the puzzle pieces back together and save this business or will the building blocks collapse under the weight of continued failure?
