CHRIS EVANS
Director of Operations

After graduating Charlotte High School, Chris moved to Minneapolis in 1999, where he spent a year and a half polishing his management skills as operations director for a small manufacturing company, before returning to Florida in 2001.

At which point he elected to continue his management career with Smuggler's Enterprises, Inc. Since his return, Chris has worked from the bottom up to position the company for growth, by reforming logistical challenges to changing marketing apparatus and implementing beneficial initiatives for the company.

Together with the support of the company's President and partners, other projects were quickly established, including soon-to-be neighboring Laishley Crab House located in Laishley Park, as well as Smuggler's Culinary Catering. Chris is fortunate enough to work with industry professionals that help him maximize the companies' potential.

Chris brings unique passion, and a wealth of management and operational experience to the quintessential Smuggler's Restaurants and Bars, located in vibrant Punta Gorda.
