The Shaking Crab, a Newton-based, cajun-inspired seafood restaurant, is seeking to open a location at 554 Main St. in Worcester, according to the City of Worcester License Commission.
The theater-district location is owned by Washington D.C.-based developer The Menkiti Group which bought the property in 2018 and has been seeking a tenant for the street-level storefronts.
Shaking Crab was founded in 2015 in Newton by Kevin Duong and Nicholas Wu. Among other offerings, the notoriously messy restaurant features seafood shaken in a bag of seasoning for customers to eat with gloved hands, wearing bibs. The company currently has 23 full-service locations around the world and three delivery-only locations.
The Commission will address the application in a public meeting on Thursday, Sept. 8.
Good luck getting people to go down there at night.
