Why Does Shuckin’ Shack Have Zero National Competition?

You might not realize that Shuckin’ Shack has no real national competition, but it’s true. There aren’t many bars that can offer the same dining experience. Although we’ve struggled against strong headwinds just like every other bar franchise, we’ve managed to sail through and take the lead. The question is: how did we do it in such short order?  

Over the last few years, we’ve embarked on a journey toward building something new and unique in the fast-casual space. After all, that’s really how a bar franchise for sale gets off the ground; you have to know what you’re doing from the jump start. So, here’s how we tailored the Shuckin’ Shack concept to have zero national competition and give our franchise owners the best chance of a successful launch.

Unique franchise business model

As with any bar franchise for sale, we have basic requirements for potential franchise owners and operators, but we separate ourselves from the rest by minimizing the barriers to entry and streamlining business processes as much as possible. That said, what’s the secret to our success?

You don’t need a lot of space, for starters, which basically forces your restaurant to be super efficient compared to the local competition. With maximized space usage, you’ll have low inventory requirements, too, which keeps waste to a minimum. The idea is to run a tight ship and make the best use of everything from the sustainably sourced seafood down to the napkins. You might not think so, but not every bar franchise operates this way, especially new businesses just getting their sea legs under them.

Menu

Of course, we serve the best oysters around; however, that’s not all we have at Shuckin’ Shack. The menu we built has something for everyone, and it’s yet another way we stand out in the restaurant industry. You need to differentiate your restaurant from the usual options around town if you want to thrive.

Starter-wise, we don’t just do fried appetizers. Instead, we also have Ahi Tuna and Shrimp Cocktails available. If that doesn’t float your boat, you can order Hangover Fries, smothered in queso and bacon, topped with a fried egg. We dare you to find another seafood place that serves something similar. Not only that, but we have Surf N’ Turf options, shellfish, and hot sandwiches too.

Environment

Overall, that’s a sneak peek at our menu, yet we didn’t stop there! We’re a tight-knit family here at Shuckin’ Shack, and we try to pass along that ethic to every Franchise Owner. There’s really no one else in the fast-casual space expanding as fast as we are right now, and it’s not because of our handsome looks. We put in the work, and part of our growth strategy is refining the concept of an oyster bar franchise.

If you’ve never experienced the coastal lifestyle – no matter what part of the country you call home – it’s a laid-back, easy-going way to go about life. You’ll find great restaurants and bars off the beaten path in any seaside town, so we want to bring that vibe to every location, even if you’re nowhere near the ocean.

Fun

Now, here is where we cranked it up when we started expanding. Shuckin’ Shacks are just great places to have a lean back, kick your feet up, and unwind with an ice-cold draft beer. It’s not so easy to get the “Cheers effect” when you open up a new bar, but the first step to building that kind of brand is to have a warm, welcoming approach.

At Shuckin’ Shack, we give you everything we need to run the back of the house. Your task as a new Franchise Owner will be to build a front-of-the-house staff that will greet every guest with a smile. It’s even more effective if you learn their names and what they like to order. Honestly, if the front of the house pays any attention at all, they’ll notice the same faces coming back, so always keep your head on a swivel in front of guests.

It’s all about making those one-to-one personal connections with people. If you see someone coming in at the same time twice a week, why not have a seat with them and get to know them more? All it takes is actually caring about service and a great atmosphere. Reading people is paramount, so if you keep things fun, you’ll sort of disarm guests and make them relax a bit more.

We’re a bar, yes, but we’re also a place where you can take the family out for an evening. The coastal vibe leans more towards the casual side, and you have to keep it that way. We keep things light and energetic at Shuckin’ Shack because we’re not afraid to build a concept with an authentic, down-to-earth personality.
