Cousins Maine Lobster Celebrates Grand Opening of Food Truck in Charlotte, NC

Cousins Maine Lobster Returns to Charlotte, NC

Cousins Maine Lobster (CML), the renowned fast-casual dining destination for lobster rolls, is making a triumphant return to Charlotte, North Carolina, with the launch of its newest food truck. The grand opening is set for January 22nd and promises a delightful experience for both loyal fans and newcomers alike.

This opening marks the fourth truck for Cousins Maine Lobster in the state, reflecting the brand’s commitment to bringing authentic Maine lobster to eager patrons. With a vibrant community in Charlotte that has always shown enthusiasm for top-quality seafood, the return of CML is highly anticipated.

The Charlotte food truck will be managed by the dynamic duo of Savas and Victoria Alkoc, long-standing franchisees with extensive experience across multiple markets. They have successfully operated Cousins Maine Lobster trucks in several states, including New Jersey and Florida. The Alkocs are well-regarded for their operational excellence and ability to scale business effectively.

“We are incredibly excited to bring Cousins Maine Lobster back to Charlotte,” shared Savas and Victoria. “The enthusiasm and support from the local community have always been incredible. Re-establishing our presence here with a robust team and fresh menu offerings is especially meaningful for us.”

The menu at the Charlotte food truck features a mouth-watering selection of Maine lobster delicacies, including their popular lobster rolls served on buttery New England bread, lobster tacos, savory lobster grilled cheese, and rich New England clam chowder. Of course, no visit would be complete without indulging in their classic whoopie pies.

Community members are warmly invited to the grand opening at Town Brewing Co., located at 800 Grandin Rd., from 4 PM to 8 PM. This event will offer customers the chance to taste the signature menu items and reconnect with the flavors of Maine lobster.

Cousins Maine Lobster's commitment to quality has been unwavering since their inception. Founded in 2012 by cousins Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, the brand has grown significantly after appearing on the show Shark Tank, where they partnered with real-estate investor Barbara Corcoran. This partnership has allowed them to franchise effectively, expanding their reach through food trucks and brick-and-mortar locations across the nation.

Under the direction of experienced franchisees like the Alkocs, Cousins Maine Lobster aims to continue its trajectory of growth by responding to consumer demand while ensuring consistency and quality across all locations. As noted by Lindsay Herberger, the Director of Franchise Development, “Savas and Victoria exemplify the qualities we look for in our franchisees, consistently driving success through strong leadership and commitment to the communities they serve.”

As the brand grows nationally, their consistent focus on customer engagement and the robustness of their menu will ensure that Cousins Maine Lobster remains a go-to destination for seafood lovers in Charlotte and beyond.
