Last week, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. opened its first location in San Antonio along the historic River Walk. Inspired by the Paramount Pictures’ hit film “Forrest Gump,” Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. presents a down-home, family-friendly dining experience that perfectly captures the charm and American spirit that made the film a smash hit. Each location offers a taste of southern hospitality and friendly service that involves the guest with such activity as its famous “Run Forrest Run” and “Stop Forrest Stop” license plate signs. It also offers interactive movie trivia, a retail market with regionalized merchandise and the iconic ‘Box of Chocolates’ for purchase, as well as photo opportunities with the world-famous Shrimp Louie mascot.
