OF OUR SUCCESS

Since 2014, Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls has been rapidly expanding across the United States – and now internationally, with our first location under construction in Milan, Italy.  No matter where we are in the world, we bring the luxury of authentic New England lobster rolls to every guest, every time.  We are known for our classic recipes, 100% Maine lobster at peak tenderness, and zero pretention. 


We believe everyone deserves the luxury of lobster and invite you to join us in our mission.

WHY CHOOSE MASON’S FAMOUS LOBSTER ROLLS?

Growing demand

The fast-casual segment, which is a step above fast food but not quite full service, is the fastest-growing dining segment at 11.4% annual sales growth – almost doubling the growth rate of any other segment. Busy consumers, seeking quality fresh food, have flocked to these concepts.

 

Lobster, once reserved for fine dining and white tablecloths, is more accessible today than ever before. As both fast-casual concepts and lobster rolls are trending, people are lining up around the world to experience the luxury of lobster in Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls.

Mason’s Famous Lobster enjoys some of the highest ratings among customers. We boast an average 4.4-star rating on Google, Yelp, and Trip Advisor, which is why they come back again and again. Our most loyal customer has dined with us 450 times…and counting!

Luxurious lobster rolls command a higher price point than many other fast-casual concepts, yet our operational costs are relatively low. This gives our franchisees the potential for higher margins. The key is in our simplicity. Our decor is true to the laid-back lobster shacks of New England, so there are no over-the-top build-outs. With limited menu items and simple recipes, there is also no extensive equipment, storage, prep or cooking required. All of this allows our franchisees to keep construction, rent, and labor costs low.

Unlike many common restaurant types, there are only a few regional lobster roll players in most markets, giving Mason’s franchise owners an incredible opportunity to stand out and become the lobster roll destination.

We created a streamlined, repeatable process with a supportive infrastructure that ensures you can get up and running in no time without heavy equipment or skilled labor investments. If you have business experience and attend our 10-day training program, you’re ready to operate a Mason’s.
