MARKETS WE’RE FOCUSED ON

These Markets Are Ready for a Good Shuckin’ Time.

Athens, GA

Athens is a high-potential market driven by the University of Georgia and game-day traffic. Downtown's bar-forward demand and limited oyster-centric competition make it an ideal destination for students, alumni, and visitors.

Augusta, GA

Augusta is fueled by military, healthcare, and Masters traffic. With limited competition and a strong bar-forward culture, its growing downtown is ideal for the Shuckin’ Shack coastal oyster bar concept.

Chattanooga, TN

Chattanooga is driven by tourism and outdoor lifestyle. Its Tennessee River location and proximity to the Appalachian Mountains attract residents, weekend visitors, and a growing regional economy.

Knoxville, TN

Knoxville combines a major SEC university, sports culture, and nightlife with steady local demand and year-round tourism from the Great Smoky Mountains region.

Murfreesboro, TN

Anchored by the university near Nashville, fast-growing Murfreesboro combines rising incomes and social dining culture with limited seafood competition.

Fayetteville, NC

Fayetteville is driven by Fort Liberty’s large military population. Year-round demand, a robust bar culture, and limited competition create a reliable, repeat-driven market.

Greenville, NC

Greenville is anchored by East Carolina University and ECU Health. Academic, athletic, and medical traffic drive year-round stability within a growing healthcare and nightlife hub.

Lake Norman / Denver, NC

The Lake Norman and Denver region combines high incomes and lake-driven social culture with bar-forward dining, supported by proximity to Charlotte’s corporate economy.

Winston-Salem, NC

A diversified economy anchored by healthcare and education supports stable demand in Winston-Salem, while a growing downtown and university presence favor experiential oyster dining.

Lynchburg, VA

Supported by multiple universities and a professional economy, Lynchburg’s revitalized downtown and growing young professional population favor social, experiential dining.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT MARKET

What We Look For in a Shuckin’ Shack Location.

Population of approximately 25,000–35,000
Strong bar and casual dining culture

Good food. Cold drinks. Good people. That’s the whole thing.

Access to quality real estate in strip centers, standalone, endcaps, mixed-use developments, walkable downtown spaces with a focus on outdoor dining space; locations should range between 1,800–2,500 square feet.

Spots that thrive: growing suburbs, commuter communities, historic downtown districts, entertainment areas, regional retail corridors, fast-growing secondary markets — the common thread: people want a fun, local gathering place.
Markets underserved by casual seafood dining concepts

Shuckin’ Shack works beautifully in tourist areas, but it doesn’t need one to thrive. Our locations are built for community hubs and neighborhood shopping areas where locals gather, regulars are made, and a great experience keeps people coming back. The coastal vibe travels anywhere the right partner plants it.
