After opening 14 locations throughout Arizona, as well as Alabama and Nevada, Angry Crab Shack is finally expanding into the Scottsdale area.
Slated to open later this spring, the latest Angry Crab Shack will be located on Talking Stick Way, on the southeast corner of Pima and Indian Bend Roads.
âWhile this year has certainly thrown some challenges our way, Angry Crab Shack has continued to grow and expand in Arizona and across the country,â said Ron Lou, founder of Angry Crab Shack. âWeâre eager to open the first Scottsdale location in a bustling area.â
Angry Crab Shack specializes in seafood boils with Asian-Cajun flavors and signature sauces.
It is a phenomenon with its roots in the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Many businesses were forced to shut down and send employees home, and the federal government began providing funds to supplement state unemployment checks.
Florida was one of the first states to reopen, and business owners eager to turn a profit and recoup losses rushed to beef up their work force and return to normalcy.
But with other states slower to open, stimulus dollars continued to flow from the U.S. Treasury. Even though federal unemployment insurance payments have been cut from $600 to $300, a Floridian who qualifies for maximum state benefits of $275 still can make $575 a week.
The work was relatively minor routine maintenance,” said Susan Cerbone, the city s spokeswoman.
“The east end of the pier gets the brunt of the ocean’s force,” Cerbone said.
She said the pier had to be closed because crews needed to work from the deck of the city-owned pier, which is located at the eastern tip of Main Street.
The pier is popular with anglers because it s one of the few places in the area they don t need a license to fish. It s also free to drop a line off of the pier.
There’s also ocean fishing available with no license required on Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores. Fishing on Sunglow Pier, home of Crabby Joe’s Deck & Grill restaurant, costs $7 for adults and $3 for ages 11 and under.
