“Gift Card Rescue”

Aired Monday 31 August 2009

An entrepreneur originally from Ghana (now living in Maryland) comes to the Shark Tank seeking an investment for an internet business which is his shot at the American Dream. Other entrepreneurs who hope their business ideas will sharpen the Sharks' appetites include a man from northern California who wants to franchise his successful graffiti removal service -- but he fights back when the Sharks want to control his business and make him their employee -- and two women from Studio City, California who work the Sharks into a frenzy over their lucrative childcare product -- but a last-minute wrinkle in the offer may blow the entire deal.
