The Naperville location of Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar is now open.

First Shuckin’ Shack In Illinois

The new seafood spot comes to town thanks to Kyle Howard. According to a press release, the Geneva resident left his 20-year corporate career to open the chain’s first franchise location in Illinois. Owning a restaurant was a long-time dream for the “corporate career veteran turned foodie.”

Yesterday the restaurant hosted its grand opening, with live music from the Fresh & Raw Tour featuring CJ Solar, Warren Garrett and Luc Alexander. One lucky attendee won free seafood for a year.

The grand opening was also a fundraising event, netting $650 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
