The pitch
What walked into the Den
Hameed and Sonia Anwari run Mobile Business Express, a Calgary, Alberta company that builds mobile businesses on wheels, from food trucks to rolling showrooms.
They pitched in Season 16, episode 2, asking for $500,000 for 10%. That request valued the build shop at $5,000,000.
After the show
What happened next
A CBC-affiliated feature reports the Anwaris landed a deal, and that the company was then on track to double revenue and open showrooms in British Columbia and Ontario. The exact cash and equity of that agreement were not stated in the source, so we credit the deal without inventing figures.
The business is active: on July 23, 2026 the site carried a 2026 copyright and buy-now prompts for its builds. One caveat on dates: sources disagree on the exact air and deal timing, so we avoid pinning it to a single day.
Our read
The Hub verdict
Five hundred thousand dollars for 10% puts the build shop at a $5,000,000 mark, a solid number for a company selling businesses on wheels to other entrepreneurs.
A deal is sourced, though the terms are not, and the growth described afterward, doubling revenue and opening new showrooms, is the kind of detail that reads as a deal working. We note one caveat plainly: the record is muddy on exactly when this aired and closed, so this page avoids date-specific claims and sticks to what a single figure, the ask, and a sourced outcome will support.
Worth knowing: Sources conflict on the precise air date, and the deal terms were not disclosed, so we keep the outcome to the sourced fact that a deal was made.
