Biggest Roll Ever: Celebrate National Lobster Day on Sept. 25 With Luke’s Lobster

Luke’s Lobster Will Offer Half-Pound Lobster Rolls at Shacks Nationwide and 25% Off Online Lobster Orders

Biggest Roll Ever: Celebrate National Lobster Day on Sept. 25 With Luke’s Lobster
Luke's Lobster 8 oz roll

Luke's Lobster's jumbo 8oz lobster roll for National Lobster Day available Sept. 25, 2023.

Luke's Lobster, the highest-scoring B Corp seafood company in the world, is doing something bigger than ever before. On National Lobster Day Monday, Sept. 25, the company will have its biggest lobster roll yet at Luke's Lobster shacks nationwide — the half-pound (8oz) lobster roll for $40 (including side of chips). Regular 4oz and 6oz rolls are still available.

National Lobster Day is an official day dedicated to celebrating Maine’s iconic crustacean, designated by Maine Senators Angus King and Susan Collins to encourage support and bring awareness to Maine's working lobstermen and fisheries.

“There are countless ways to celebrate Maine lobster,” said Luke’s Lobster founder Luke Holden. “This year, Luke's Lobster wanted to go big for our guests with our largest lobster roll yet: an 8oz lobster roll on National Lobster Day. We see the lobster roll as an everyday celebration so on this very special day, we hope everyone will treat themselves to a very special, very big, lobster roll." For just $1 more, customers can make the half-pound roll more unique with a truffle butter or spicy honey butter.

For those that can’t make it to a Luke’s Lobster shack on Sept. 25, the Luke’s Online Market will be offering 25 percent off its lobster roll collection in the online market — kits, tails, meat, whole lobsters — from Sept. 24-30.

About Luke’s Lobster

Luke’s Lobster was born out of the dream of Maine native and third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden to bring the quality lobster rolls of his youth to New York City. After meeting business partner Ben Conniff on Craigslist, the two 20-somethings opened their first lobster shack in a 250-square-foot space in NYC’s East Village in October 2009. More than a decade later, Luke’s Lobster shacks can be found in 11 states across the U.S. and in Japan and Singapore, and its seafood products are available at select grocery stores and shipped directly to U.S. consumers.

As part of its mission to serve the best-tasting seafood, sourced responsibly, Luke’s Lobster built a state-of-the-art seafood facility in Saco, Maine, that allows the company to not only buy lobsters directly from fishermen at the dock but immediately steam, pick, and send them to its shacks to ensure perfect flavor and texture with every bite and transparent sourcing detail for its guests. In 2018, Luke and Ben furthered the company’s commitment to sustainability and socially conscious business practices by becoming a certified B Corporation®, reflecting Luke’s Lobster’s deep devotion to each of its communities, family of teammates, and environment. Luke’s Lobster is now the highest-scoring B Corp seafood company in the world.

The Fort Lauderdale Maccabi Soccer team won their gold medal match against the Philadelphia team.

The 2023 JCC Maccabi Games® & Access, hosted by the David Posnack Jewish Community Center (DPJCC) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have concluded with resounding success and heartfelt gratitude to the community that made it all possible. This week-long celebration of sports, camaraderie, and inclusivity has left a lasting impact, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our generous supporters.

Close to 2,000 Jewish teen athletes aged 12-16, representing communities worldwide, gathered in Fort Lauderdale to experience the joy of sports and the power of inclusion. The Games, presented by the JCC Association of North America, offered an unforgettable Olympic-style experience filled with competitions, opening and closing ceremonies, community service, social and cultural events, and opportunities to create Jewish connections that will last a lifetime.

One of the highlights of this year's event was the introduction of JCC Maccabi Access, brought to you by UKG and presented by the Posnack Family Foundation. This program is designed to provide athletes aged 12-18 with intellectual and developmental disabilities an inclusive Maccabi experience. This three-day program, held in conjunction with the 2023 JCC Maccabi Games®, exemplified the event's commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

Scott Ehrlich, CEO of the David Posnack Jewish Community Center, reflected on the Games, stating, "We were overjoyed to welcome Jewish athletes from all corners of the world to Broward County for the 2023 JCC Maccabi® Games & Access. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our JCC Maccabi Team led by our Co-Chairs, Lori and Mitch Green, Debby and Dennis Eisinger, Davia and Jim Mazur, and Missy and Dan Longman. Their unwavering commitment contributed significantly to establishing an atmosphere that nurtured camaraderie, inclusiveness, and the genuine essence of the Games."

The Games' success was significantly bolstered by the support of honorary co-chairs Scott Scherr, founder of Ultimate Software, and Scot Hunter, co-founder of Emerald Multi-Family Office. Their encouragement to business owners and the backing of corporate and community partners played a pivotal role in the event's success.
