Is Maven's Creamery Still in Business? (2026 Update)
Is Maven's Creamery from Shark Tank still around in 2026? Its on-air agreement, what happened afterward, and current ordering options.
Take a delicate French macaron, split it open, and stuff it with ice cream. That is the simple, slightly genius idea behind Maven's Creamery. The macaron ice cream sandwich is photogenic, unusual, and exactly the kind of treat that gets shared online. Sisters Gwen and Christine brought it to the Sharks, but the bigger question now is whether the company is still scooping in 2026.
The Short Answer
Yes. Maven's Creamery is still in business in 2026, and it is genuinely thriving. The company moved well beyond its original macaron sandwiches into pints of ice cream and landed major retail distribution.
By 2022 sales had reportedly climbed to around $3 million a year, and the brand kept expanding from there.
The Pitch and the Deal
Maven's Creamery appeared in Season 10, Episode 20. The founders asked for $400,000 in exchange for 10 percent of the company.
Barbara Corcoran stepped up and made a deal, agreeing to $400,000 for 25 percent. The negotiation happened on camera and the founders accepted.
In the end, Maven's chose not to finalize the deal with Barbara after the show. Instead of leaning on online direct sales, the team pivoted hard toward retail partnerships, and that strategic decision shaped everything that came next.
Where Maven's Creamery Is Now
The retail bet worked. Maven's expanded its lineup to include pints, with a durian flavor becoming a standout seller that earned placement in seven Costco regions in 2023. The team followed with avocado pints and announced tea-flavored options in 2024, keeping the menu adventurous and distinctly its own.
Distribution today includes serious names: Whole Foods, Costco, Safeway, Vons, Kroger, and King Soopers among them. On the leadership side, Christine eventually stepped away while Gwen continued as CEO, and the company has remained founder-owned, growing, and profitable.
To buy, your best bet is the freezer aisle at participating retailers like Costco and Whole Foods, or check the Maven's Creamery website for current flavors and where to find them near you.
The Bottom Line
Maven's Creamery turned a clever single product into a real ice cream brand. The Barbara deal did not close, but the sisters made a smart call to chase retail shelves instead of relying on shipping pints, and it paid off with placement in some of the biggest grocery and warehouse chains in the country.
If you spot those macaron sandwiches or a pint of durian ice cream on a Costco run, that is a Shark Tank product that quietly grew into a success story.
