In the movie “Forrest Gump,” the title character said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.”

But when it comes to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurants, developed from a concept in the “Forrest Gump” movie, customers always know what they’re going to get — “Hot food hot, cold food cold … true care and concern,” says Scott Barnett, president and CEO of the company.

Since its inception in 1996, the company has grown to 15 domestic and five international locations. And with that growth, Barnett and his executives have worked hard to build a company culture that is consistent from location to location and, within each restaurant, consistent from day to day, ensuring that customers always have an exceptional experience with the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant & Market.

This, in turn, helps establish a correlation between the Bubba Gump brand and excellence in the minds of consumers, making the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. name synonymous with a great dining experience.
