CHARLOTTE, N.C.  Shuckin’ Shack, the fast-casual oyster bar franchise with 18 locations, is bringing its laid-back, seafood-focused vibe to Charlotte. The new restaurant at 5349 Ballantyne Commons Parkway in the Promenade on Providence shopping center opens to the public on April 8, with a week of community-focused events leading up to the Grand Opening Party on April 11. 

Local couple Dawn and Kevin Powers are no strangers to the restaurant business. With decades of combined experience in hospitality, the Powers were inspired by their son’s time working at the Shuckin' Shack location in Carolina Beach, and wanted to bring the same friendly, neighborhood atmosphere to their community.

“We’re ready to bring big flavors, good vibes, and lots of laughs to Charlotte,” said Dawn. “A Good Shuckin’ Time starts here!”

Shuckin’ Shack offers fresh oysters, crab legs, wild-caught shrimp, burgers, hand-tossed wings, signature cocktails, and ice-cold beer, all in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Beyond the food, the Powers are committed to giving back to the Charlotte community through partnerships and charitable efforts.

Opening Week Specials & Community Events

“We’re pumped for the week of festivities ahead of us in Charlotte,” said Jonathan Weathington, CEO. “The Powers are bringing a great seafood experience and showing real commitment to their community, exactly what we love to see at our local Shacks.”

ABOUT SHUCKIN’ SHACK:

Offering a “lifestyle experience,” Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar creates an environment that encourages guests to grab a seat, relax and take their taste buds on a trip to the coast; after all, life is too short for bland drinks and boring bars! The original Carolina Beach, NC Shack, which was just 900 square feet, was launched in 2007 with a plan to become the go-to local hangout for people of all ages. A place where friends and family can enjoy fresh, delicious meals, cold beer, and craft cocktails in an environment that exudes fun and relaxation, Shuckin’ Shack offers exceptional seafood and creative drinks that will make guests question why they ever settled for ordinary bar offerings. 

Thanks to its bold flavors and impeccable vibes, Shuckin’ Shack has continued to grow. In 2014, the brand began franchising and has since expanded to 18 units across six states. To learn more about Shuckin’ Shack, visit http://www.theshuckinshack.com.
