Shark Tank Winner Lollacup to Exhibit at PBJ

Dallas Market Center today announced that Lollacup, a uniquely designed sippy cup alternative made in the U.S.A. and recently featured on the show Shark Tank, will exhibit in PBJ: Play. Baby. Juvenile. PBJ is a new, juried trade event for innovative baby gifts and gadgets to be held each spring. The inaugural show will take place March 21-22, 2013.

Lollacup’s functional design helps infants and toddlers successfully use a straw by featuring a weighted straw at the bottom that anchors itself in liquid. Because of the practical design, a baby or toddler can easily drink from it no matter what angle it’s held. The handles are big, smooth and easy to grab for little ones, yet twist off easily for bigger kids. Lollacup is made without BPA, phthalates or other toxic chemicals.

Lollacup and its founders, Mark and Hanna Lim, were featured on ABC’s Shark Tank in April. After a successful pitch to the panel, Lollacup is now funded by Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec.

PBJ, taking place on the eighth floor of the World Trade Center, will feature a unique array of new products from emerging companies and recognized names. It will be held in conjunction with the Dallas KidsWorld Market (March 18-21, 2013) which draws specialty retailers from across the United States and internationally. The show space will be modern, fun and inspirational. Fresh displays, hospitalities, special events, and educational and networking opportunities for retailers will be included.
