    Delmarva's Own: Mogan's Oyster House

    This episode is about Mogan's Oyster House. You'll want to listen to this story of triumph, because... When history looks back at some of the worst times to open a restaurant, we can be sure that October 2019 will be listed as the wrong time to launch such an endeavor. But, nobody planned to open a new restaurant just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. It was just unfortunate timing. Restaurants closed by the thousands around the country, unable to remain financially viable as the United States shut down into various states of quarantine. But for some reason, as restaurants with decades of business success began to close, one of the newest eateries on Delmarva not only survived, but grew. This episode is about the story of how Denny Mogan came to open Mogan's Oyster House on Main Street in Salisbury, Maryland, how it thrived during the pandemic and a devastating medical diagnosis for the owner, and how they continue to be a local favorite. We were joined by the General Manager of Mogan's Oyster House, Mike Daly. Mike is a life long resident of Delmarva and calls Salisbury home. His industry expertise and love for his place of employment shone clear as he reminisced about the early days of Mogan's, his time learning about the restaurant industry while living in New York city as he chased Broadway dreams, and how he brought his expertise to grease the inner workings of Mogan's. Mogan's Oyster House is located at 100 East Main Street in Salisbury, Maryland. They are open every day 11:30AM - 9PM.
