ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. - August 2, 2021 - CNBC's "The Profit" featuring serial entrepreneur and investor Marcus Lemonis returns for season eight on Tuesday, August 10th at 10pm ET/PT. Lemonis is back putting his own money on the line to try to help small businesses across the country and he has never been more invested. This season, Lemonis visits eight businesses each facing different and unique challenges during these unprecedented times. With his 3P's principle - People, Process, Product - Lemonis evaluates each business and charts a path forward.

In the August 10th premiere episode, Lemonis faces one of his biggest challenges to date when he visits a family business in Utah that is drowning in debt. With his help, the family will need to become a hive of activity to turn their fortunes around.
