Shrimp Boat No 26 to Open in Decatur Alabama
A new carry out restaurant named Shrimp Boat No 26 is set to open in Decatur in about three weeks with an investment around 25000. It will be at the corner of 7th Ave SE and 11th St SE beside Decatur Shopping Center. Whit King of Chemstrand bought the franchise and plans to hire a local manager while interviewing applicants. The prefabricated shrimp boat unit will arrive today from Atlanta and require several weeks to prepare for operation. Shrimp Boats Inc operates 25 units across several states, with this being the first in Alabama. The Macon Ga home office runs the chain whose 1965 retail sales topped 1 million, and plans to double locations this year. The menu centers on Savannah shrimp and Cape Cod fish with southern fried chicken marinated in a secret recipe.
