Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to 2 Chickens And A House After Dragons’ Den?
2 Chickens And A House appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 1. The business was a residential chicken egg laying service. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2017.
The Pitch
Patricia Gruchy and Louise Villalon walked into the Den in 2012 with a residential chicken egg laying service. They were asking for £45,000.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Patricia Gruchy and Louise Villalon left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
2 Chickens And A House did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2017, some 5 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is 2 Chickens And A House Still in Business?
No. 2 Chickens And A House is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
