companyThe Profit · Season 6, Episode 4 · Aired January 15, 2019
Ben's Garden
New York City, New York
Yes. This one is still open.
What happened after
Home decor/decoupage gift brand; expanded beyond its original SoHo store to add a Stony Brook, NY location plus wholesale operations.
What happened on the show
Ben's Garden was a home decor and gift company whose founder, Ben, had started designing and selling decorative pieces as a child, only eight years old, and built it up over the following decades. By the time of the episode, though, the company's revenue was sliding and employees were jumping ship. It was a Profit case rooted in a long personal history, a founder driven brand with real craft and longevity that had lost momentum and was struggling to hold its people. Marcus's work in a situation like this generally meant diagnosing why the revenue was falling, stabilizing the team, and rebuilding the growth and operational discipline that a maturing gift company needs. The decades of design behind the brand were a genuine asset, which made the declining sales and the staff turnover the problems that needed to be addressed before they compounded further.
After the cameras left
Ben's Garden is thriving and has grown. The home decor and decoupage gift brand grew past its first SoHo shop, adding a Stony Brook, New York location, plus a wholesale operation, and its site shows an active cart, current pricing, and even a paid membership program. There is a separate wholesale site as well. The declining revenue the episode captured appears to have reversed into real expansion. Confirmed operating as of 2026, high confidence.
