Shuckin' Shack - Franchise
DOMINATE AN INDUSTRY, BECOME A SHUCKIN’ OYSTER MAGNATE
Secure your legacy and deliver something special to your local community; an oyster dive bar that cares about their service and treats its customers like family! Our locations averaged $1,650,674 in net sales! Don’t you want to add to that number?
Shuckin’ Shack Franchises Are THE Places to Be
We don’t mess around when it comes to creating the single best place in town to relax, eat fresh seafood, drink cold beer, and watch the game. Our incredible menu offerings, like steamed oysters, po boys, and shrimp ‘n grits, plus a relaxed, comfortable local vibe, keep customers coming back time and time again.
Our Owners Told the Corporate World to Go to He**
Instead of sitting in a cubicle burning out their eyeballs through computer screens, our Franchise Owners spend their days doing something they ACTUALLY love—being an owner of a happening local bar and restaurant, enhancing their local community in the process.
It’s a pipe dream a lot of people have, but never act on it. Our Franchise Owners not only acted on it but are now flourishing!
INVEST WITH US AND REGRET NOTHING
CREATE YOUR OWN DESTINY—AND BOTTOM LINE!
4 REASONS TO TELL YOUR BOSS TO SHUCK OFF:
- Un-SHUCKIN’-Believable Sales: During 2022, our stores averaged net sales of $1,650,674* and we expect those numbers to climb as we expand further in 2023!
- This Is Your Chance to Build The PERFECT Oyster and Seafood Bar: From fresh oysters on the half shell to cold crab dip to fried calamari, we don’t CHEAT on any of our dishes.
- Our Customers LOVE US: If you do it right, follow our lead, and stick to the core values of Shuckin’ Shack, yours customers will come back again and again and again and leave a 5-star review on Yelp and Google, like this one:
- “I typically avoid chains because I feel that the “local” feel gets lost in the flurry of “flair” items and generic menus. Not so with this place! This place is born of the local feel of coastal North Carolina and the low country seafood boil tradition.” - Alex D.
- Make it Your OWN: Not all spaces are created equal, allowing our Franchise Owners to put their own individualized, local flair on their Shuckin’ Shack!

WE DARE YOU TO FIND BETTER OYSTERS THAN OURS
It would be pretty silly to open an oyster bar if you weren’t sure you were serving the best, most award-winning oysters available—and we’re pretty DAMN sure we have the best!
Our list of 5-star reviews of places like Facebook and Google is so long we haven’t even gone through all of them yet! But here’s a small snippet of the NUMEROUS awards we’ve racked up:
- Ocean Friendly Establishment Certified
- “Best New Restaurant of The Year,” North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce
- “Best Bloody Marys ‘Shack Attack,’” Party Wilmington
- “Best Raw Bar,” Wilmington Magazine
- “Best Oysters,” Encore Magazine
- “Best Taste Award,” Share the Table
- “Best Seafood Restaurant,” Summerville Journal Scene
WE CARE A HELLUVA A LOT ABOUT LOCAL JOBS & FISHERIES
Besides providing the community with a fun place to relax with good food and friends, we aim to support the job force by using local fisheries. We’ve partnered with several organizations to ensure we give customers the most ethically and locally sourced seafood possible.
We promise our customers the freshest seafood ingredients; there’s nothing fresh about seafood coming from foreign fisheries halfway across the world.
Our Partners Mean As Much to Us As Our Customers
Over the years, we’ve been BEYOND LUCKY to partner with some of the environmental and conservation programs out there:
- James Beard Foundation’s Smart Catch Program
- Oyster Shell Recycling Program
- Shellfish Growers Climate Coalition

The only people we don’t want as a Franchise Owner are jerks. We’re looking for people who love starting up conversations with total strangers. You don’t need any previous restaurant experience!.
