Overview

Luke's Lobster is a family-owned Maine seafood business founded by third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden. It began as a tiny lobster roll shack in New York City in 2009, when Holden could not find an authentic, high quality Maine lobster roll. With partner Ben Conniff and their team, the first ten shacks sourced lobster from fishermen through Luke's father Jeff's seafood production business. In 2013 the team opened its own seafood purchasing and production business in Saco, Maine, making the company vertically integrated. In 2018 it expanded into grocery stores with premium seafood meals, and in 2020 it launched an online market. Luke's now has shack locations in twelve US states, Japan, and Singapore, seafood meals on supermarket shelves across the US, and an online market. It has been a Certified B Corp since January 2018.

History

Luke's Lobster first opened its doors in NYC in 2009. It was founded by third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden, who was unable to find an authentic, high quality Maine lobster roll in New York City. He, partner Ben Conniff, and their team launched and built their first ten shacks sourcing lobster from fishermen through Luke's father Jeff's seafood production business. In 2013, the Luke's team opened its own seafood purchasing and production business in Saco, Maine, making Luke's truly vertically integrated. In 2018, Luke's expanded into branded grocery, launching flash-frozen lobster meat, tails, and seafood meals in grocery stores around the country, and has been a Certified B Corp since January 2018. In 2020, during the pandemic, Luke's launched its online market to bring seafood from Maine direct to doorsteps. Luke's now has shack locations in twelve US states, Japan, and Singapore; seafood meals on supermarket shelves across the US; and an online market.
