Shuckin' Shack

About Shuckin' Shack
When the founders opened the first Shuckin Shack in 2007, their goal was to provide the highest quality seafood and drinks while removing all the pre-conceived notions of only getting great food a few times per year. Opening the second location in Historic Wilmington in 2012 brought similar success, even in a market flooded with seafood restaurants, taverns, and bars. One thing remained clear - Shuckin Shack was different than the tired --fry it all-- seafood houses found all over the Southeastern United States. After a warm reception and a number of awards, as well as being featured in Coastal Living Magazine s --22 Best Seafood Dives in America,-- 2014 brought a new adventure: franchising. Sticking with the same mantra that brought two successful restaurants in North Carolina,Shuckin Shack Oyster Bar can now be found in multiple states with over a dozen locations. The formula that works for --The Shack-- can be found in their mission statement: --To show each guest ‘A Good Shuckin Time through fresh seafood, high-quality spirits, and exceptional customer service.-- Are you ready to bring ‘A Good Shuckin Time to your community?Seeking new franchise units in the following regions/states: Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, West Virginia and WyomingVeteran Incentives 10% off franchise fee
