What Happened to The Dough Bar After Shark Tank

Is The Dough Bar still in business? No — the company has shut down.

  • Filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, closed its Fort Collins bakery location due to mounting debt from the Colorado move, and shifted focus back to online operations.
  • In May 2022, the couple stepped away from the business to care for their newborn daughter, who suffered serious health issues. They halted operations but hinted at a future return.
  • As of 2024-2025, there has been no successful relaunch despite occasional suggestions of a potential comeback.
