Yes, FryAway is still in business and expanding into national retail. The plant-based cooking oil thickener, which lets home cooks safely solidify and dispose of used frying oil, has grown fast since its Shark Tank appearance.

What happened on Shark Tank

Founder Laura Lady struck an on-air deal with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner for $250,000 for 22% equity. As with many Shark Tank agreements, there’s no public confirmation the deal has formally closed, with the arrangement reportedly still working through due diligence.

What the company looks like now

Deal status aside, FryAway has grown substantially. The product is now available at Walmart, Meijer, Food City, Hy-Vee, Scheels, and Ingles, in addition to online sales through the company’s own site. FryAway maintains an active presence on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, regularly posting product demonstrations and promotions, and by October 2025 the company was described as thriving.
