After much deliberation Linda Hebert, Diane Hebert Phares, and Diane’s husband, Jack decided to sell their family restaurant. The family successfully operated Dupuy’s Restaurant, and then transitioned to SHUCKS! for a total of 32 years. Their hard work and dedication finally paid off. A much needed and well deserved rest was finally going to be enjoyed. However the family would not have sold to just anyone. The family’s concern for their long term employees and their faithful customers was of utmost importance in closing the deal.
In walk Bert Istre, and David Bertrand, both Abbeville natives and long time restaurant owners. Neither one of the gentlemen was interested in changing the tried and true recipes. Bert and David also knew a large part of their success was holding on to the loyal employees that had served so well for so many years. A handshake agreement was made and no menu items were changed and every employee stayed during the transition and throughout the entire first year of new ownership. To date, all key employees have remained and play important roles in the growth of the SHUCKS! concept.
