The Profit - Los Gemelos Update

Tonight on The Profit Marcus Lemonis is in Port Chester, New York with hopes of making a deal with Los Gemelos. Los Gemelos is a restaurant and tortilla manufacturer owned by Adelo Ramirez. Comedian George Lopez recommended that Marcus Lemonis take a look at the restaurant for the show and Marcus took him up on the offer.  When Marcus is at Los Gemelos, he finds that the tortilla machine from Mexico has safety issues, there are issues with the current landlord, and Adelo isn't offering up all the information about his business.

Let's take a look at some information related to Los Gemelos as well as what kind of deal was made on the show.
