## Story

When asked about what has been key to the company's growth, Weathington answered, "Consistency, especially as we sign on with new franchisees and continue opening new locations. It’s important to us that we remain true to who we are, serving the freshest of seafood and quality menu items to our guests. We don’t attempt to be everything to everyone, rather, remain focused on staying true to the brand.

Our biggest milestones have actually been our franchise stores winning multiple awards in virtually every city in which they’ve opened. As I understand, that’s pretty rare." said Weathington.
