Tea2go is the eighth episode of the fourth season of The Profit. In this episode, host and business expert Marcus Lemonis travels to Texas to rescue a fast-growing chain of tea shops called Tea2Go that is on the brink of collapse due to poor management and lack of focus.

Upon arriving, Marcus meets with founder and CEO, Brent Snyder, who started the company in his garage as a way to provide healthy and tasty beverage options to his community. Brent's passion for tea and genuine desire to help others led him to open his first Tea2Go shop, which quickly grew to 12 locations throughout Texas.

However, as the company expanded, Brent struggled to keep up with the demands of running a growing business. He lacked financial acumen and was unable to effectively manage his cash flow, resulting in mounting debt and missed payments to vendors. The shops were also poorly designed and lacked consistency, leaving customers confused and unsatisfied.

Marcus quickly identifies several issues with Tea2Go's operations and sets out to help Brent revamp the business. He introduces Brent to a team of experts who help him streamline operations, fix his finances, and redesign the stores to make them more appealing to customers.

Throughout the episode, Marcus also spends time with Tea2Go's employees, getting to know their concerns and frustrations. He discovers that many of them feel undervalued and underappreciated by Brent, who is often absent and unresponsive to their needs. Marcus sets out to change this by working with Brent to create a culture of transparency and communication, where employees are empowered to take ownership of their work and feel valued for their contributions.

As the episode progresses, we see the transformation of Tea2Go, from a struggling tea chain to a dynamic and successful business. Brent becomes more confident and capable as a leader, and the stores are rebranded and redesigned to appeal to a wider audience. With Marcus's guidance, Brent is able to turn his passion for tea into a profitable business that positively impacts his community.

Overall, Tea2Go is an inspiring episode of The Profit that demonstrates the importance of effective management, clear communication, and a commitment to quality. It shows that with the right support and guidance, even struggling businesses can turn their fortunes around and achieve lasting success.
