Live & Fresh Deliveries: Bringing Lobsters to Your Door

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Chance meetings keep summer greetings cool and exciting!  In October I was returning from Disney World with my family when I met my friend Chris Harrington and his wife Melissa.  We had just calmly scurried through security with three kids, two grandmothers, a grandfather, and all kinds of stuffed animals. While waiting at the gate in the pre-board area I spotted an all familiar Aggie ring. Chris was heading back to Houston for surgery to repair his knee and to hopefully get back to playing professional football.  As a fellow Aggie, I wished him the best and gave him my card and asked him to keep me up to speed on his recovery. That led us to the conversation about logistics… and lobsters. He said that he had this business plan to open a lobster company in Houston.  We could have talked business, start ups, logistics, and strategy for hours. However, it was time to board.

Several months passed and I got an email from Chris saying that his surgery went well and that he was working out again, but was uncertain about his playing future. Our friendship began. Since that day I have been lucky enough to have been called upon by my friend for advice on logistical planning and strategy on packaging and other cold chain solutions. Now, Chris has become the expert and is teaching me more than I ever could have known about cold chain.  Chris called on my expertise and knowledge because we handle Last Mile Logistics nationally for some of the most prominent seafood and fine food purveyors, into some of the finest restaurants in the United States.

His company is Lone Star Lobster. You can find him at www.LoneStarLobster.com. His passion for his business is incredible. It’s so much fun to be a part of and it has been a privilege to watch him grow.  We recently began a new delivery program for Lone Star Lobster. In addition to handling on demand courier delivery runs for them or rush (Hot Shot) jobs, we have developed a Home Delivery Program for live lobsters.

If you want lobster or are interested in a home delivery for a traditional New England lobster and clam bake, let me know. We can deliver it to your front door!

“It’s Lobster Season, Eric! Tell your friends and customers, that if they live in Houston and want Lobster, we can get to them more competitively and fresher than anyone. Plus, we can get steamer clams too!” – Chris of Lone Star Lobster.

So, if you have a time sensitive and temperature sensitive delivery, let Hot Shot Delivery, Inc. handle it. We promise we won’t steam it; we’ll leave that up to you!
