Shell Shack

The Shell Shack is a fast food restaurant that was mentioned in the episode, "Patty Hype". The restaurant was started by Barnacle Products Incorporated as a way to compete with the Krusty Krab. Fred Rechid was hired by Barnacle Products Incorporated to do advertising for the restaurant. It claims to feature a talking and singing dog, however, it was actually just a fish dressed as a dog. In Season 350, Jim the Orignal Fry Cook is revealed to be friends of the Talking Dog. It was only able to drive more attention to their restaurant than the Krusty Krab for a short while, until it gained a boost a few years later where it could be competitive on an equal playing field. It was considered by many people to be a fad. The Shell Shack in Bikini Bottom was closed a week after the singing dog was announced, but the dream of the store stayed alive until the next reopening. Howard Blandy expressed interest in buying up the Shell Shack, but gave up after he decided that the deal wasn't worth it. The Shell Shack as a whole is considered to be more popular outside of Bikini Bottom. There used to be a shack in Ukulele Bottom, however, it was destroyed in an arson accident.

The Shell Shack is designed to have a fun and casual beach-inspired atmosphere both in its interior and exterior. The interior is decorated with a mix of nautical elements and tropical accents, creating a vibrant and laid-back vibe. The walls are adorned with colorful murals featuring underwater scenes, coral reefs, and sea creatures, while the floors may be covered with sandy-colored tiles or wooden planks to mimic a beachy feel.The seating areas are furnished with comfortable booths or chairs and tables, often made from weathered wood or painted in cheerful colors. There may also be some bar seating with high stools for customers who prefer to dine at the counter. The lighting is typically bright and cheerful, with fixtures designed to resemble shells, starfish, or other marine motifs, adding to the overall ambiance.
The exterior of the Shell Shack is designed to catch attention with its playful and eye-catching appearance. The building may be shaped like a large seashell, a beach shack, or a boat, with bold colors and signage that invite customers to come in. The exterior may also feature a deck or patio area with outdoor seating, umbrellas, and maybe even some palm trees or other tropical plants to enhance the beachy vibe.
