Former South Cariboo resident Ben Harapat, better known as the Granola King, recently appeared on the CBC television show, Dragons’ Den, to pitch his high-grade granola to the panel of shrewd business people.
Harapat asked for $75,000 for 25 per cent of his company, but his only offer was $75,000 for 50 per cent of the operation, which he turned down.
He told the panel he sells his product in more than 100 stores on the West Coast, and had $500,000 in sales last year.
Harapat now resides in North Vancouver.
