‘The Profit’ Sneak Peek: Is Marcus About to Make His Worst Partnership Ever?

Soup’s on in Tuesday’s new episode of The Profit, but as good as the stews and chowders are at The Soup Market in Milwaukee, entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis is in for a big surprise with his newest potential business partner.

In the exclusive preview clip above, Lemonis, who’s familiar with the Milwaukee area as a Marquette University alum, butts head with the eatery’s owner right away. The soup man — whose business has been struggling since the sudden death of his business partner — resists Marcus’s ideas to freshen up the local chain’s outposts and offer some healthier options in his lineup of hearty bisques.

And just when the duo seems to come to an understanding, and Marcus wows everyone with a modern renovation to the restaurant and the menu, The Soup Market owner drops a bombshell that only becomes more shocking the more Marcus learns about it.

Too cryptic? Trust us, this is the worst potential business partner we’ve seen Marcus meet in more than three seasons of The Profit.

The Profit airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on CNBC.
