Case Study

Philanthropy and Customer Loyalty

Challenge:

An owner of one the largest oyster bars in the Washington, D.C. metro area was looking for a way to pay tribute to her father, who loved to fish and cook and who helped inspired her career, by creating a charitable oyster product. 

Solution:

War Shore responded by sourcing a very specific seaside oyster that could be grown to an exact size and always provide a consistent, salty taste at a reasonable price. War Shore commits to delivering this oyster weekly within 48 hours of harvest to all of the owner’s restaurants.

Results:

This seaside oyster has become one the largest sellers for the oyster bar. The solution enables the owner to contribute 10 percent of the oyster’s proceeds to various charities throughout the year. This charitable arrangement has resulted in a very strong and loyal customer base for the oyster bar as they continue to expand its footprint of restaurants.
