We are proud to introduce the franchise launch of Cork’s Cajun Fish and Shrimp, a concept built on decades of real-world restaurant experience and a deep respect for Louisiana culinary traditions. Our journey began long before this moment, shaped by hands on operations, customer driven growth, and a relentless focus on flavor and quality. With our roots firmly planted in Port Allen, Louisiana, and our reputation strengthened through the success of Cou Yon’s BBQ since 2009, we are excited to invite entrepreneurs to grow alongside us. This franchise launch represents our commitment to sharing an authentic Cajun dining experience while supporting motivated owners every step of the way.

A Legacy of Proven Restaurant Success
Our franchise launch is grounded in a legacy that has already stood the test of time. For more than a decade, we have operated successful restaurants that deliver consistency, quality, and strong customer loyalty. The growth of Cou Yon’s BBQ into a nationally recognized and award winning brand provided us with invaluable insights into what it takes to scale a food concept without losing its soul. We bring that same operational discipline and passion to Cork’s Cajun Fish and Shrimp, giving franchise partners confidence that they are investing in a model shaped by experience rather than theory.
Authentic Cajun Recipes That Set Us Apart
At the heart of our franchise is food that tells a story. We rely on proprietary family recipes developed and refined by generations who understand Cajun cooking at its core. These recipes are bold, rich, and unmistakably Louisiana, delivering flavors that leave lasting impressions and keep guests coming back. Our menu is designed to create a true WOW moment for diners, and franchise owners benefit from offerings that naturally stand out in competitive markets. Authenticity is not a marketing angle for us, it is our foundation.
A Brand Built on the “WOW” Factor
We believe that great food should be memorable, and that belief drives everything we do. From the moment guests take their first bite, we aim to exceed expectations. Our approach to seasoning, preparation, and presentation is intentional, ensuring every visit feels special. This emphasis on experience strengthens customer loyalty and fuels word of mouth growth. For franchise owners, this translates into a brand that resonates emotionally with guests and builds repeat business through genuine enthusiasm.
A Scalable and Streamlined Business Model
Our franchise model is designed with scalability and simplicity in mind. We have developed systems that support operational efficiency while preserving the integrity of our food and service. From kitchen workflows to inventory management, every element is structured to help owners run their locations with confidence. We understand the challenges of restaurant ownership, which is why our model focuses on reducing complexity and increasing consistency. This approach allows franchise partners to focus on leadership, customer relationships, and local growth.
Comprehensive Support
We are deeply invested in the success of our franchise partners. Our training program is thorough, hands on, and rooted in real restaurant operations. We guide owners through food preparation, customer service standards, and daily management practices. Beyond the initial training, we provide ongoing support to ensure franchisees are never navigating challenges alone. Our team remains accessible for guidance, updates, and best practices, reinforcing a collaborative environment where everyone benefits from shared knowledge.
A Culture Rooted in Family and Collaboration
As Louisiana born and raised brothers, we built Cork’s Cajun Fish and Shrimp with family values at its core. That same spirit extends to our franchise community. We see our franchise partners as part of the Cork’s family, not just operators of individual locations. This culture of collaboration fosters trust, open communication, and mutual respect. By supporting one another and sharing successes, we create a network that is stronger together than it could ever be alone.
