Husband and wife team, Florian and Shannon Radke, opened their first bakery in Berkeley, California in 2010. Four years later, the couple appeared on Shark Tank, where they initially accepted a $200,000 investment for 20% of their company (the deal later fell through due to differences in how investor Robert Herjavec and the Radke’s saw the company moving forward).

I called the Crown location in Gaithersburg to confirm and ask about their future. They were able to confirm the closing and told me there’s no plan to close the Gaithersburg location.

Here’s what he had to say:
