Last week Shuckin' Shack Co-Founder, Matt Piccinin, and CEO, Jonathan Weathington, took a road trip to Statesboro to meet with our first franchisee for the state of Georgia. For those unfamiliar with the area, Statesboro is a beautiful city with over 30,000 residents, an hour northwest of Savannah, and home to Georgia Southern University. Our franchisee has secured a location within a soon-to-be constructed mixed-use center that will include office spaces, retail units and fresh new restaurants - featuring a brand new freestanding Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar & Sports Pub! We are excited about this first of three Shuckin' Shack restaurants this multi-unit franchisee will operate, in addition to other restaurant franchises they own.

Time was well spent reviewing and revising the final blueprints for our very first stand-alone restaurant building, as groundbreaking happens this week and delivery of the raw restaurant should happen early this Summer. Be sure to follow us on Facebook or LinkedIn for construction updates from Statesboro and the timing for the opening of our very first Shuckin' Shack in the great state of Georgia!
