Values & History
Lobster Pot was founded in 1970 in Provincetown, MA. Overlooking the historic Provincetown Harbor, the original location has become a local tradition. Building on its success, the restaurant began offering franchise ownerships based on its seafood and steak model in 2017. Featuring real New England seafood prepared in the Cape Cod tradition, Lobster Pot's extensive and creative menu represents a real opportunity for those interested in running a restaurant business under a brand known for quality and dedicated service.
Industry Performance
US consumers spend roughly two-thirds of their annual seafood expenditures in restaurants and other foodservice businesses. Seafood remains an important menu item for most operations, with fish, shrimp, and clams being the most common offerings due to their lower cost. Portion sizes are easy to control and seafood products can be quickly and consistently prepared.
