Rayjus and Bentley's Pet Stuff
Morris, Illinois
The rescue did not hold; it later closed.
What happened after
Sports/fishing apparel and pet products company (founders Ray Odom and Justin Romines); the rayjus.com domain has expired and is now listed for sale via HugeDomains, no active shop or recent social activity found.
What happened on the show
Rayjus was a sports apparel company in Morris, Illinois that specialized in fishing gear, its name a blend of its two owners' first names, Ray Odom and Justin Romines. The trouble was familiar Profit territory, low employee morale, unfocused owners, one of them distracted by a side gig as a radio DJ, and thousands owed to the IRS in back taxes. The product had a defined niche in the fishing world, but the business around it was adrift, weighed down by tax debt and divided attention at the top. Marcus's work on a company like this centered on refocusing the owners, cleaning up the finances, and giving a demoralized staff a clear direction, the operational fundamentals that a small apparel maker needs before it can grow. The niche was real, but the ownership had let the basics slide badly.
After the cameras left
The company appears to have closed. The rayjus.com domain has lapsed and is now listed for sale through a domain broker, and we found no active shop or recent social activity for the brand. A warehouse address on file placed it in Morris, Illinois, and a Facebook page for a related outdoors venture exists but shows no confirmed recent activity. The parked, for sale domain is the strongest signal, and it points toward a business that has gone dark. Medium confidence closed as of 2026.
