SHUCKS! | Client Since December 2015 | https://shucksrestaurant.com/
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 before transitioning to SHUCKS! for a total of 32 years.
Cue the entrance of Bert Istre and David Bertrand, both Abbeville, LA natives and long-time restaurant owners. Neither one of the gentlemen was interested in changing the tried and true recipes at SHUCKS! Bert and David also knew that a large part of their success was in holding onto the loyal employees that had served so well for so many years. Their hard work and dedication finally paid off, but the family would not have sold to just anyone. Bert and David have been serving their local community since 1995, and some of their current servers have been working with them for 20 to 30 years!

Cajun Mama | Client Since March 2016 | https://cajunmamas.com/
Cajun Mama built this business on a passion for cooking and a love for great food. In fact, owner Imani graduated from LSU Law School but set her legal career aside to pursue her passion for cooking Cajun pies. It started small, just making meals as a stay-at-home wife and mom for her family and friends. The idea snowballed once more and more people began asking her to make dishes for events. Soon after, Cajun Mama was born and became the premier destination in Lafayette, LA for Cajun cuisine. Cajun Mama also recently added eCommerce to their digital marketing package to reach a wider audience!
