The Raleigh-based business Wine & Design will pitch to the sharks in Friday’s episode of “Shark Tank” on ABC.<\/p>\n

Founder and CEO Harriet Mills of Raleigh will appear on the show to sell investors on the franchise, which lets customers create art while enjoying wine. Wine & Design<\/a> is considered one of the leading “paint and sip” franchises in the nation, offering classes for all experience levels. They currently have 76 franchises in 15 states.<\/p>\n

Mills, the company CEO, is a mom who started the business after being laid off from a corporate job.<\/p>\n

The company has also partnered with Team Chris Combs<\/a> and Project ALS<\/a> for a “painting it forward” fundraising event. Mills is close friends with Combs, a former N.C. State baseball player and an associate director for The Wolfpack Club who was diagnosed with ALS last year. The partnership hopes to collect $50,000 to help fund a critical aspect ALS research.<\/p>\n
