Joe's Crab Shack

Joe's Crab Shack started in Houston, Texas as the "hippest" little seafood restaurant in town. Our beach-side shack theme attracted tons of people from the start. People heard that Joe's was a place that they could kick back, strap on a bib, and enjoy awesome crabs and seafood while sitting at picnic tables with the music playing. Today, Joe's is known as a place for cracking crabs and having gun on any occasion.

Joe's Crab Shack is owned and operated by Ignite Restaurant Group, based in Houston, Texas. Ignite Restaurant Group also operates Brick House Tavern + Tap. We currently own 157 restaurants in 36 states. Our guests LOVE our restaurants! We are honored they choose to celebrate their special days and nights with us and return the love by making sure that they have a Craveable Joe's Experience.

Shoppers flock to stores for summer wardrobe: Report

Publish Date: March 23, 2016

Some 90 percent of Americans shopping for spring and summer apparel are doing so in physical stores this year, according to a survey from ICSC Research. Moreover, 97 percent of shoppers will visit either physical stores or online sites operated by retailers with such stores. The average shopper will spend $193.70 on this apparel, and only $26.90 will be spent at pure-play online retailers, says the report, which is based on the survey of 1,000 adults, conducted March 4–6 by ORC International on behalf of ICSC.

Of those shopping for apparel, 49 percent say they plan to spend the same as they did last year, while the rest are about equally divided between those who will be spending more and those who will be spending less.

Nearly three-fifths of Americans will shop for spring and summer apparel this year. Just over half of them will visit discount stores, nearly as many will shop in traditional department stores, about 28 percent will go to specialty apparel stores, and 21 percent will visit pure-play online retailers. Nearly four out of 10 of these warm-weather shoppers said they would visit an enclosed mall, and 26 percent said they would hit a factory outlet.

About half of these buyers will research apparel online before visiting a store. Of those, 51 percent will be Millennials, and 49 percent will be baby boomers. Almost seven out of ten people shopping or picking up online purchases in a store will be using a mobile device. Of these, 51 percent will be price-checking, 43 percent will be obtaining coupons or digital discounts, 26 percent will be checking availability, 23 percent will be taking pictures, and 20 percent will be checking ratings or reviews.

Topeka’s Britewerk marketing and design agency has opened a new design studio, nestled in the trees at 2900 S.W. MacVicar.

Topeka’s Britewerk marketing and design agency has opened a new design studio, nestled in the trees at 2900 S.W. MacVicar.
Co-owner Matt Gassen said his company was drawn to the location, which was the former home of HTK Architecture, largely because of the setting.
“It’s sort of a wonderful creative space, in a serene setting. We’ve always liked it. We liked the architecture,” he said.
Property owner Henry McClure is developing the building, which was built in 1966, and the landscape, which he is calling “2900 MacVicar,” and along with Britewerk, his real estate development company will be located there.
“I am proud to be the current owner and custodian of 2900 MacVicar as we preserve and restore the property,” McClure said. “Our vision here is to serve as the home to my commercial real-estate and retail development office, a design studio for Britewerk and provide a designed retreat-like setting for conference use. It’s a special building, an icon, and has an inspirational presence.”
Gassen said Britewerk, which has a main office location at 112 S.E. 8th St., will utilize its new space as one that is more intimate and smaller than its main space.
The modernized conference center will be available for meetings, retreats and other events. On 2900 MacVicar’s Facebook page, graphics detail the space available and note that it will include Wi-Fi, a kitchenette and other amenities as needed.
“We’re branding the interior, as well, to fit the time period, and it will have a kind of Mad Men style. 1960s, modern, with minimalism and Scandanavian design influences,” Gassen said. A mini art gallery space can be used to participate in First Friday Art Walks.
