It would have been a no brainer to discard peter and go for the other 2 when he started pratting about with time limits. Would have just been better to exclude him for doing that.
I wouldn't have worked with Peter at all. Any business partner that tries to bully or intimidate you at the onset is not someone I'd be keen on. If he does it now, he'll continue to do so in future.
I was told that all achievements begins with the step to start,I got recommended here also about Austin how he help make hug profit for people I have tired now I have made withdrawal within a short period of time.
I respect James. Even though his offer was rejected based on "not knowing him or his achievements" he still stood up and went over to shake his hand. Gentlemanly stuff.
I understand that when a Dragon makes an offer and genuinely wants the business, they will fight for it by any means neccessery but out of all the strategies Peter has used to secure an investment, putting a timer on the Entrepreneur was a dirty move!
7.500 stores in the US before walking in, i would have said I'm sticking to 30% could initially do 40% but with targets met and investment returned come down to 30%
I LOVE Peter but this was an absolute NO from me. I would have declined immediately. It was disrespectful to the other dragons who did not even have time to make offers yet.
Shark Tank in USA is waaay worse with the time constraints than Peter Jones was here in the Dragons' Den, especially Mr. Wonderful. He *SCREAMS* horrible insults during his countdown and his time limit will only be as *generous* as 30 seconds to begin with! Often times 2 and maybe 3 other sharks are also *demanding* an answer to THEIR offer at the same time as Mr. Wonderful. They don't scream like he does or hurl demeaning insults but pile on the pressure just the same. It is truly horrible and happens fairly routinely.
dont understand the hate for peter, remember, this is first and foremost a show and its his and all the dragons job to make it entertaining. Now i wouldnt have played a long with peters bullying, and he shouldnt have either, but you cant blame peter for trying to make this a little more interesting.
Yeah, my response would have been "I'll take up James and Deborah on their offers. Peter, I wouldn't work with you if you were the only Dragon who made an offer after a stunt like that."

The deal never worked out and the dragons did not come on board. Cush'n Shade however did very well after this appearance on the show and got some very lucrative deals. However, they went into liquidation in 2012 and sold out the company when Banks would not finance them to meet letter of credit from a major retailer
Update: the dragons didn’t end up financing it - which seems to be a fairly common outcome on this show. I don’t know why or the particulars, but I’ve researched a few of these episodes and this is the second time I’ve seen the the dragon deal didn’t go through. The product did really well for a while, especially in the USA, but after getting financing several times from other sources, the Bank pf Ireland refused them a loan to make the stock they needed to fill orders, and they had to liquidate and sell the patent. It appears that it’s not being made any more - there are 3 available on Amazon, but none from Bed Bath and Beyond, which was a major client at one point.
Many times they find out the reality of the integrity of the people, their finances, and the actual company, and find that it would not be something that can work out.
Peter jones is a Business tyrant. If anyone notice, Peter never did it again. That's because the producers were furious and didn't like what he did, that's why he never did it again.
