Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar, the 18-unit oyster bar franchise born out of Carolina Beach has its sights set on coming to Fayetteville.
“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,” reads the franchise's website.
According to a released statement from the company, Shuckin’ Shack aims to open three new locations, with Fayetteville at the forefront of its expansion efforts by the end of 2025. The brand is actively seeking passionate entrepreneurs to bring its concept to the city, offering a proven operational framework and strong corporate support.
