The company has since expanded to over 140 bottle selections, selling tumblers, jugs, and sports bottles in a variety of sizes. Guest Shark Alex Rodriguez and Mark Cuban both invested into Ice Shaker, where Rob Gronkowski later bought Rodriguez's stock in the company as it was thriving from their expansion into retail in The Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, and Lifetime Fitness locations. Chris co-owns three businesses with his four brothers: InSite Media Services, which manages Rob’s brand and nego­tiates all his sponsor deals; Gronk Bus, which leases two party buses in the Bos­ton area; and Gronk Nation, an online promotional vehicle for the family.
