Description

Luke's Lobster is a family-owned Maine seafood company founded by third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden. The company began as a tiny lobster roll shack in New York City in 2009, where Holden struggled to find an authentic, high-quality Maine lobster roll. Luke's now brings traceable, sustainable seafood to guests across the country through their shacks, grocery stores, and online market. They work directly with fishermen to source the best seafood, handling it throughout the journey from the dock to the plate.

They are a certified B Corp, meaning they are committed to using their business to create a positive social and environmental impact. They invest in community programs, such as the Lift All Boats project which helps historically disadvantaged individuals obtain lobster licenses, and support sustainable fishing practices. They are also working to reduce their carbon footprint and source products from BIPOC-owned businesses whenever possible.
