Peter and Allison Behringer are candy makers who run a small business, Sweet Pete's, in Jacksonville, Florida. Their product is excellent but their business is failing and has yet to turn a profit. The Behringers brought in a partner to help sweeten the pot but that relationship turned toxic. Sweet Pete's is a business with great promise but one that probably won't survive another year. To save it, serial entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis must fix the partnership, create new business and revamp the store or Sweet Pete's will be forced to close their doors.
