Started in 2012 by real-life Cousins and Mainers, Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, Cousins Maine Lobster began with two things: A food truck, and a shared vision to extend the highest-quality Maine lobster to the lobster-starved masses by making it affordable and accessible. Cousins Maine Lobster brings an authentic Maine seafood experience to local communities by staying close to the source and proudly serving only premium, wild-caught lobster from Maine, accompanied by their signature Downeast Maine hospitality. Cuisine includes classic Maine fare like their world famous lobster rolls, savory lobster tacos, authentic New England clam chowder, and classic whoopie pies. A successful nationwide franchise, Cousins Maine Lobster garnered national fame after their appearance on ABC's Shark Tank. They partnered with Shark and real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran and are now one of the top 3 Shark Tank investments of all time. The brand has been franchising for 11 years, and operates more than 80 units across the US in both franchise and Company markets. Cousins Maine Lobster has garnered a cult like following, now grossing more than $80 million a year in sales. The brand has been featured on The Food Network, Good Morning America, Fox Business, The Today Show, CNBC, The Cooking Channel, and more, and has received countless awards for best lobster rolls and for being the best food trucks. Cousins Maine Lobster continues to expand their reach across the country, and is seeking new franchisees for new markets. Learn more here: www.cousinsmainelobster.com/franchising
