FRANCHISE OWNER TESTIMONIALS
(WHY THEY SHUCKIN’ LOVE IT HERE)

THE SEAFOOD RESTAURANT INDUSTRY

Did you know…

In 2017, Americans ate about 9.9 billion pounds of fish and shellfish, up 3.6% from the year before.

Up to 70% of all seafood purchased in the U.S. is consumed in restaurants.

While 56% of Americans eat seafood at least twice a month, only 28% of those who eat seafood feel confident in their abilities to prepare it themselves.

42% of consumers are swapping other types of meat for seafood in an effort to eat healthier.

An oyster bar franchise like Shuckin’ Shack is in a niche category of an already underrepresented segment, seafood, in the $4.1 billion casual dining industry- meaning little to no competition!

WHY OWN A FRANCHISE NOW?

Talk about a perfect storm. 2020 wasn’t exactly smooth sailing for any of us, but the Shuckin’ Shack seafood franchise managed to keep the party barge afloat through creative, fun pivots designed for takeout and delivery. These efforts helped us to stay in the black and at the forefront of people’s minds amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’re happy to say that Shuckin’ Shack weathered the COVID-19 hurricane. In fact, we maintained million-dollar seafood restaurants in 2020.* Our existing franchise locations are all running at full steam, and we’ve welcomed our devoted fans back with open arms (figuratively speaking, of course. Six feet apart, people!)

Now it’s time to look forward and see the unexpectedly great franchise ownership opportunities that the unprecedented events of 2020 have left us. We are already on track for a record-breaking 2021!
