Cousins Maine Lobster's Exciting Road Tour
Cousins Maine Lobster, a popular food truck and restaurant brand that gained fame on the reality show
Shark Tank, is hitting the road for an exciting tour through West Texas and New Mexico. Kicking off on March 5th, the tour will take the delicious flavors of Maine lobster to cities including El Paso, Las Cruces, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe, delighting seafood lovers along the way.
This tour will be led by seasoned franchisees Jimmy Shoshani and Ahmer Sarah Khan, who are celebrating their decade-long journey with the brand. Their Dallas-based operations have prepared them well for this venture, and they are eager to introduce the rich tastes of Maine to new customers. Popular menu items will feature succulent Maine lobster rolls, delectable lobster grilled cheese, creamy chowder, and sweet whoopie pies.
A Legacy of Flavor and Community
Founded in 2012 when co-founders Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis kicked off with a single food truck, Cousins Maine Lobster has since exploded in popularity. Their big break came during their appearance on the fourth season of
Shark Tank, where they secured a deal with Barbara Corcoran. Nearly thirteen years down the line, Cousins Maine Lobster has become one of the most prominent investments from the show, expanding to over 75 locations across more than 30 states.
The philosophy behind Cousins Maine Lobster is rooted in nostalgia and a love for Maine’s unique culinary offerings. Co-founder Sabin Lomac shared, “Our journey began as a way to celebrate our cherished memories from childhood in Maine. The joy of bringing our food to new markets is unparalleled, and we relish the chance to connect with fans, potential franchise partners, and new friends in every city we visit.”
As part of this tour, the brand is also actively seeking enthusiastic franchise partners to join them, particularly in the West Texas and New Mexico regions. Interested individuals can find more information by visiting Cousins Maine Lobster’s website or by reaching out to Lindsay Herberger, the Director of Franchise Development, via email.
