Our patrons at Shuckin’ Shack skip the plastic straw in favor of biodegradable, reusable alternatives.
Ocean Friendly Certified
Our mission to protect the ocean means preserving sea life by applying to be Ocean Friendly Establishments.
Oyster Shell Recycling
We don’t just carelessly discard our oyster shells. Instead, they’re reclaimed and used for reef restoration to support healthy undersea habitats.
As Fresh as You Can Get
Through the James Beard Fresh Catch Program, we’re able to increase the sustainability of the supply chain by sourcing fish responsibly.
We Know Our Fish
We’re pretty obsessed with knowing the origins of our seafood and can tell customers exactly where their fish was caught, the name of the boat that reeled it in, and, sometimes, the name of the captain! We guarantee freshness of the highest quality, even to landlocked locations.
Community Connection
It’s important to us that every patron who steps through our doors receives a warm welcome that makes them feel right at home. We empower each franchise location by highlighting the local flair. We like the environment to reflect what’s trending locally, so the space connects them with hometown interests and values.
Streamlined Operations
Through our “Shuck U” training program, franchise applicants receive over 140 hours of classroom instruction and hands-on exposure. Our dedicated real estate team helps with site selection for your oyster bar, including assistance in planning the design, construction, and grand opening.
Once the franchise is awarded, new owners receive intensive support through weekly communication and access to an app that will keep you up-to-date with video and photo content and corporate directives. Thanks to our marketing team, you’ll also receive assistance with quarterly directives and promotions and have access to our in-house graphic designer.
Brilliant Branding
Any entrepreneur understands the power of strategized branding for recognition and loyalty. Not only does effective branding make a lasting impression, but it also informs customers as to what they can expect when they walk through the doors.
We distinguish ourselves from competitors with our fun-loving atmosphere, welcome ambiance, and a “No worries!”, easygoing pace. “Responsibly sourced, seriously fun!” is our motto and our core values are respect, integrity, sustainability, and excellence (RISE). Between the two, our identity is well represented at the Shuckin’ Shack.
