Mama O’s Premium Kimchi is all set to appear on episode 3 of Shark Tank season 14 on Friday, October 7, 2022, at 8 pm ET on ABC. In the new episode of the unscripted show, four new entrepreneurs will pitch their products to the Sharks and try to convince them to invest in their businesses.
Sharks Kevin O’Leary, Mark Cuban, Daymond John, and Lori Greiner, along with guest Shark Kendra Scott, will be seen on the new episode of Shark Tank. The synopsis of the upcoming episode reads:
“Entrepreneurs from Glendale, New York, bring some spice to the Tank with their take on a traditional Korean dish.”
All about Mama O’s Premium Kimchi appearing on Shark Tank
Mama O’s Premium Kimchi began by accident. Entrepreneur Kheedim Oh never intended to start a company, but the non-availability of good kimchi in the stores forced him to start the business.
Kimchi, which was available mostly in Asian markets, tasted terrible and was full of unnecessary ingredients, so he asked Mama O, who lived a couple of hundred miles away with his father, Papa O, to teach him how to make kimchi.
According to kimchirules.com, the official site of Mama O’s Premium Kimchi,
“He took the Chinatown bus to DC many times to make batches of kimchi to bring back to NYC. Most of the kimchi was shared with friends, and occasional strangers, who eventually encouraged Kheedim to make his product available to a larger community.”
They have come a long way since making batches of kimchi in the basement. They hired some fantastic people and began producing traditional hand-crafted kimchi for grocery stores, local restaurants, and bodegas.
They have production facilities in Brooklyn and New York, and Kimchi lovers can find them nationally and internationally.
