New Era Cap news brought to you by DrCap.co.uk, specialists in 59Fifty Hats.In May 2006, Daren Duraidi and Richard Lee appeared on the BBC2 hit television show
Dragons’ Den, seeking investment in their small company Dr Cap.
Dr Cap specialises in urban baseball caps, specifically
New Era 59Fifty Hats. One of the dragons could see the potential in the business and offered the young entrepreneurs £150,000.
Since then, Dr Cap has gone from strength to strength thanks to the continued success of the
shop based in Leicester and the launch of the Dr Cap website in December 2008.
The website proved an instant hit with
New Era Cap fans all over the UK, so much so that the site will soon be expanding to provide an even greater range of New Era Hats, as well as offering New Era and NBA accessories.
Not only that, but Dr Cap will soon be delivering to European destinations, allowing fans of
59Fifty Caps across Europe to benefit. Says Daren Duraidi,
“We’ve had a number of emails from visitors who’ve found a 59Fifty hat on the site but haven’t been able to buy it because they live outside the UK. We were planning to expand into Europe in the near future, but we bought it forward in response to our customers’ needs. Watch this space!”So from budding entrepreneurs to successful company owners, Daren and Richard have come a long way since their appearance on Dragons’ Den.
