Shell Shack plans to open its second Greater Houston area location near Harris County Smokehouse, which is located at 222 W. Grand Parkway S., said Katy, Paul Castillo, the store franchisee and director of operations of Shell Shack Houston. The eatery plans to break ground this summer with a late 2019 or early 2020 opening.

The two-story, 7,500-square-foot restaurant will have garage doors that open the interior to a patio with umbrellas. It will also include a bar and televisions to watch sporting events. Castillo said he has eyed a Katy-area location for several months but has been waiting to find the perfect location. He plans for the restaurant to be involved in the community.

The Dallas-based brand has one other location in Houston at 2412 Washington Ave. and another seven or so stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Castillo said he plans to open additional locations across Houston. Shell Shack’s menu includes dishes of crab, shrimp, crawfish, oysters and catfish. 832-998-8000. www.shellshack.com
