In less than five years, Shuckin’ Shack has gone from two local seafood “shacks” to nearly 20 locations. The brand has made its mark across four states—soon to be five—with average unit volumes coming in at over $1 million system wide. That’s a long way from humble beginnings in a 900-square-foot space in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. “It’s been a wild ride,” said Weathington, who anticipates even more growth going into 2020.&nbsp;Shuckin’ Shack isn’t your average oyster bar. The laid-back atmosphere of this fun-loving, full-service restaurant has set itself apart in the restaurant space with both consumers and franchisees alike. The brand’s 35-year-old CEO Jonathan Weathington understands the millennial appeal of the fresh and sustainable seafood-driven concept, and this ability to build out the brand to succeed in today’s restaurant industry has paid off.The brand maintains its unique status in the industry and remains a prime opportunity for franchisees thanks to several key differentiators.
