Is The Yard Still in Business? (2026 Update)
Is The Yard from Shark Tank still around in 2026? Its on-air agreement, what happened afterward, and current ordering options.
The Yard Milkshake Bar does not do subtle. Picture a mason jar with its rim caked in frosting and candy, stacked with ice cream, brownies, cookies, syrup, and a small mountain of toppings, the kind of over-the-top dessert built for a phone camera before a spoon ever touches it. It became a social media favorite long before it hit Shark Tank. So in 2026, is The Yard still serving up those wild jars?
The Short Answer
Yes, and in a big way. The Yard Milkshake Bar is still in business in 2026 and has grown into a fast-expanding franchise. The chain now operates well over two dozen locations across many states, with annual revenue reported above $3 million.
What started as a single dessert shop has turned into a nationally recognized name.
The Pitch and the Deal
The Yard appeared in Season 11, Episode 7. Owners Chelsea and Logan Green came in asking for $400,000 in exchange for 10 percent of the company.
Mark Cuban made the deal, offering $400,000 for 22 percent equity, and the couple accepted on camera. It looked like the perfect pairing of a viral dessert and a shark who understands scale.
As with a number of memorable Shark Tank handshakes, the deal with Mark ultimately did not close after filming. The Greens went on to build the business themselves, leaning heavily on franchising and the brand's enormous social media following.
Where The Yard Is Now
Even without the shark, The Yard kept expanding aggressively. The franchise model took off, spreading the brand across many states, and the company has continued opening new locations year after year, with multiple new openings announced through 2024.
The momentum is still visible in 2026. The brand has run active promotions for customers, including a contest to win a VIP jar tied to free specialty shakes and sundaes throughout the year, the kind of marketing that keeps a dessert chain top of mind.
Because The Yard is a franchise of physical shops, there is no shipping a jar to your door. To get one, find a local Yard Milkshake Bar location through the official website, which lists current stores and franchise information.
The Bottom Line
The Yard Milkshake Bar is a standout example of a Shark Tank business that exploded through franchising rather than a closed deal. Mark's offer never finalized, yet the Greens turned a viral dessert into a multi-state chain with revenue well into the millions.
If you want to try one of those candy-covered jars, check the official Yard Milkshake Bar site for the nearest location. It is pure indulgence, and clearly a formula that keeps working.
