Kim Meckwood sought an investor for Click and Carry, her “handle” for carrying multiple shopping bags, in Shark Tank Season 12, Episode 8.
The idea came to her in a dream back in 2008. She took the idea and hired a student from the Pasadena Design School to make a 3D printer prototype. After some tinkering, she found success with her second mold. Then she decided to manufacture, patent, and sell the product.
She wants to expand on demonstrating the product in stores by creating mini screen point-of-purchase displays that showcase the product. Since that takes money, she hopes a Shark will help her with that.
Click and Carry Pitch
Kim entered the Shark Tank seeking $225,000 for 15% equity in her business. She told her story and gave her pitch. Kim has a background in medical device sales. According to her, she knows how to get a product “out there.”
Barbara and Lori came up onstage to help Kim demonstrate the product. She handed out samples to the Sharks.
Lifetime sales were $625,000, with only $70,000 in the last year. Each unit costs $1.85 to make and sells for $11.99. She still works full-time, which is why she came to the Tank.
Initially, she sold Click and Carry at farmer’s markets and swap meets, but when she developed breast cancer, she put her product on the back burner.
After beating cancer, she decided to go full throttle with Click and Carry. Her life changed when a buyer from QVC saw the product at the Home + Housewares Show in Chicago. After having some success on QVC, she was able to get the product into stores like Ralphs, The Container Store, CorningWare, ShopRite, and on Amazon.

Did Click and Carry Get a Deal on Shark Tank?
Once the business model was discussed, sharks shared their views of the product:
- Mr. Wonderful remarked that this was a hobby, not a business. He declined to invest.
- Lori and Robert also passed. That left only Barbara and Mark in the mix.
- Barbara asked if Kim would consider selling the business outright. Kim refused, saying the product meant something special to her.
- Barbara then offered $225,000 for 85% of the company. That also, Kim turned down. She insisted that this venture was something truly meaningful.
- Mark agreed that she was special. However, he pointed out that she needed someone to handle the business side of things.
- He then proposed teaming up with Barbara to offer $225,000 for 40%.
- They would take care of operations while Kim focused on creating new products.
Kim accepted the offer and secured a deal with Mark and Barbara.

The deal with Mark and Barbara never closed. In the aftermath of the show, Kim saw a big increase in sales.

in Target, Lowe’s, and Walmart. You can also buy it on Amazon.
In March 2022, Kim announced she would be introducing a new product sometime before the end of the year.

Their annual revenue is $1 million.
Click & Carry is estimated to have a net worth of around $1.5 million as of 2025. The company saw a major boost in sales and growth after appearing on Shark Tank. With nearly $8 million in lifetime sales, it has become a successful and recognized brand.
