Customers Wait it Out at Joe's Crab Shack Grand Opening - But Why?

First 100 through the door get free crab. See why they waited it out.

Joe's Crab Shack on Route 58 cut the ribbon on Thursday morning, with at least 100 people on hand to line up and get their free crab for a year. The restaurant, which replaces the former Boulder Creek next to TGIFriday's, offers the prize to customers willing to spend some of their time and wait it out at the seafood joint's grand opening. 

So what in particular had people waiting – some as long as 21 hours to be the first through the doors – in line?

Check out this video from the grand opening Thursday morning to find out why.
