September 28, 2009 after record setting attendance and lobster meal sales, the Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival and San Pedro Fish Markets will expand their operations in two key areas: The Lobster cooker and seating.

“Over 400 meals served every 13 minutes is great, in fact record setting, but we can do better,” said Jim Hall, CEO of International Lobster Festivals, Inc., and producer of the Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival. “Next year we plan to almost double the capacity of the cooker and at the same time we’ll be increasing our seating to better serve our guests.” The result will be shorter lines and faster service.

“In 2010 our guests will enjoy a vastly improved meal service experience that matches our world record status. San Pedro Fish Markets has the savvy to make it happen and we couldn’t ask for a better partner,” Hall said. “They are willing to invest what it takes to make sure we remain a world class festival.”
