The History of Lobster Gram
Lobster Gram started when I, Dan “The Lobster Man,” was working for Honeywell as a salesman in 1986. I needed to come up with an original idea for holiday gifts for my best clients, and I decided on live lobsters, because they are fun to prepare and it’s always a celebration when you cook lobsters. Plus, I’ve always loved lobster!
My manager at Honeywell said I could barter some thermostats and valves for 160 live lobsters. After they were flown in fresh from Maine, I put them in the trunk of my car and drove around town delivering live lobsters to my best clients. The reaction I got from my clients was so incredible that I realized I might be on to something. Soon, I started Lobster Gram as a new side business.
I then got the opportunity to go on a radio station in Chicago and promote Lobster Gram. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) my boss heard the show and promptly fired me! I was totally depressed, as I had never been fired from a job before. Since I had nothing better to do I decided to dedicate myself to building Lobster Gram.
At first, I was a one-man show and handled everything from taking the orders to packing and shipping them from my, “warehouse,” which was really my garage. Eventually, Lobster Gram grew, and I was able to hire extra help. In 2006, Lobster Gram opened an 18,000-square-foot distribution center in Biddeford, Maine, to handle the volume of shipped packages.
In 2011, we opened a warehouse in Chicago with a retail store to serve the local market. The store has built up quite a loyal following and many families enjoy having an affordable source of fresh lobsters flown in from Maine.
I still love to talk to my customers and you can still find me at Lobster Gram answering the phones or packing a package or two. And yes, I still love lobster!
