Kevin and Laurie Lane, who own their own business, appeared on the third episode of season 14 of Shark Tank to talk about their product called Create A Castle. Create A Castle is a quick and easy alternative to the often difficult and time-consuming process of building castles out of sand, snow or other materials. Of course, the clever articles could catch some people’s attention, so we decided to dive in and learn more about the company, as well as their expansion since appearing on the show!
Building a castle: who are they and what do they do?
After earning an associate’s degree in fine arts from Green Mountain College, Kevin Lane continued his education to earn a bachelor’s degree in the same field from Western Connecticut State University. Before assuming his current position as Manager of Information Architecture and Web Design at LifeCare in 2000, he held positions as a website designer and design director for a number of different companies between 1997 and 2000. He founded his own online production and design business, Code Hounds LLC, in 2010 and is based in New Milford, Connecticut. In addition to his work there to date, he co-founded Create A Castle, LLC with Laurie Lane in June 2017.
On the other hand, Laurie earned her Bachelor of Arts in Retail Management from the University of Connecticut in 1991 and after graduating from that institution worked as a store manager for The Gap. She began working for The Walt Disney Company in 1993 as a district manager. In June 2010, she began her new role as Account Manager at Code Hounds LLC, the company owned by her husband Kevin Lane. In addition to being a co-owner of Create A Castle, LLC, Laurie also works as an independent vacation planner in addition to her current role as the company’s Account Manager.
Kevin Lane claimed that while vacationing in Laguna Beach, California, he came across a father and son team working together to build sand castles on the beach. Although it initially seemed like the two were having a great time together, it wasn’t long before they started to get angry as the lock continued to fall. Kevin has always had a strong interest in castles and this, combined with his natural inclination as a web developer to find solutions to challenges, led him to put a lot of mental effort into formulating an answer. Create A Castle was the result of him and his wife Laurie finally putting their heads together and coming up with the idea.
Create A Castle offers a comprehensive castle building kit that makes the process not only fun but easy and accurate. Casts, which are very durable and can be disassembled along their hinge, are supplied in the Create A Castle kit rather than the more traditional bucket or box that would have been used for construction. Before the user can carefully unhook the item after placing it on the ground and filling the cast with sand or snow, the cast must first be placed on the ground. In addition, every single cast has fine details such as brick walls, battlements and other such elements. Nevertheless, the kit is available in several different variants, each containing an increasing number of buildings in relation to the cost.

After launching Create A Castle in 2017, Kevin and Laurie Lane were quite amazed and delighted at the great response they received to their new business idea. In 2018, the product was featured on the episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan, which aired when it was quickly selling out on store shelves. This helped further increase the popularity of the product. Kevin couldn’t avoid the spotlight either, having been named Connecticut Entrepreneur of the Year in both 2018 and 2019 in the Community Favorite Venture category. In addition, Create a Castle received the Toy Association’s International Toy of the Year Award in 2020.
Currently, the kits are not only for sale on the official Create A Castle website and on Amazon, but also in a variety of retail locations across the United States. These establishments include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Walmart, and Barnes and Noble, among others. Additionally, it has been alleged that Kevin and Laurie ship their goods to Australia through Japan-based entertainment company Tomy.
Customers interested in purchasing a Create A Castle kit should be aware that there are several different sizes available and prices range from $19.99 to $49.99. In addition, the company offers a variety of products including tool kits, castle flags and lights, castle lights, backpacks, t-shirts and more, all of which can be purchased at prices ranging from $3.95 to $34.99. We wish Kevin and Laurie the best of luck in all their future endeavors and think it will be truly amazing to watch the meteoric leap of Create A Castle.
