'Shark Tank' Season 15: Kevin O'Leary reminds Supermix Studio founder about 'Retail-19' as she walks out with two-Shark deal
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Supermix Studio was marketed as a creative revolution in children's apparel. Jennifer Stein-Bischoff founded this revolutionary firm, which has carved itself a distinct niche as the world's first interactive personalized clothing company for children.
Supermix Studios, with a value of $1.5 million and a recent appearance on 'Shark Tank', is weaving a new narrative in the fabric of children's clothing. Despite walking away with a two-Shark deal from Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec, Jennifer was swiftly given a reality check by Kevin O'Leary.
As Supermix Studio's founder looked to expand in the retail industry, Shark Kevin was quick to remind her about the shift in retail business following Covid, dubbing it "Retail-19."
Reacting to Kevin's snarky remarks, fans of the show on X wrote, "Retail-19 is the virus that we never knew we had." Another user chimed in, ""Take your retail shackles off! Set yourself free!"

A viewer added, "Jennifer taking great feedback from the Sharks and being flexible is a good sign."
"I’m not sure about Supermix being designer meets video game. It’s more like build a bear meets personalized clothes for kids," noted another.

One fan, however, complained about the brand, "Beyond disappointed when I see zero options for men to order. I mean how hard to add a hoodie under a Men's tab?"
