Why IS "The Shack" a Great Restaurant opportunity for Florida?

Population Growth

Florida has experienced explosive growth, reaching 23.37 million residents in 2024, making it the 3rd most populous state.

Income Levels

Median household income in Florida is $71,711, with a per capita income of $45,117, reflecting the state's strong economic position and appeal to higher-income transplants.

Military Influence

Florida hosts 1.4 million veterans (3rd largest veteran population in the U.S.) and 66,000+ active-duty service members (5th largest in the U.S.), with military bases throughout the state providing economic stability and a reliable customer base.

Employment

Florida's unemployment rate of 3.6% consistently outperforms the national average, with the state adding 201,500 private sector jobs (+2.3%) annually.

Housing Market

Rising home values with median prices around $411,200 and a balanced market indicate economic growth and increasing disposable income.

Seafood Demand

Florida's extensive coastline along both the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico creates ideal conditions for fresh seafood dining.

Limited Competition

While Florida has many dining options, few establishments offer the casual yet high-quality seafood dining experience that Shuckin' Shack specializes in, particularly in growing suburban markets throughout the state's rapidly expanding communities.

Culinary Events

Florida's vibrant culinary scene includes major seafood festivals like the South Florida Seafood Festival in Miami and chef competitions throughout the state, fostering growing appreciation for diverse, high-quality casual dining experiences.

Young Professionals and Families

Florida attracts young professionals and families, with 38% more millennials moving in than out. About 35% of recent arrivals are households of 3 or more, and 12.4% of the population is aged 25-34, aligning perfectly with Shuckin' Shack's target demographic.

Tourism and Events

Florida welcomed a record-breaking 142.9 million visitors in 2024, generating $127.7 billion in economic impact and supporting 2.1 million jobs. This massive tourism industry creates a constant stream of visitors seeking authentic local dining experiences alongside the substantial local population.
