Cousins Maine Lobster Makes Its Mark in West Virginia

Cousins Maine Lobster (CML) is making waves in West Virginia with an exciting expansion, marking the brand's first appearance in the Mountain State. Known for serving authentic Maine lobster through their unique food truck concept, CML is set to thrill local seafood lovers through two grand opening events scheduled for May 9th and 10th. The brand will officially debut in Morgantown and features husband-and-wife team Savas and Victoria Alkoc, who have established a strong presence with multiple food trucks across the nation.

A Journey Fueled by Passion and Love for Lobster

The Alkocs' venture into the world of food trucks was inspired by their love for lobster discovered during a visit to Boston. Their journey transformed from enthusiasts to proud business owners starting in 2018, bringing their experience and passion for quality seafood to two new locations in Wood County and Randolph County. As they celebrate opening their 12th unit and reaching a sixth state, their story emphasizes the family's commitment and hard work.

The grand opening festivities will kick off at the Grand Central Mall in Morgantown, where fans can savor standout offerings like the Lobster Tail Tots or the iconic Maine Roll. The following day, CML will set up at Big Timber Brewing Company, inviting attendees to experience the unique flavors that their brand is renowned for. Both locations aim to provide an unforgettable culinary experience to locals who have eagerly awaited the arrival of this celebrated food truck.

Building a Community and Maintaining Quality

Cousins Maine Lobster has garnered a loyal following thanks to the Alkocs' engaging customer service and efficient social media strategies. The family's participation is integrated into the operations, leading to a strong community feel that resonates with guests. Their commitment goes beyond simply serving great seafood; it extends into the logistics and coordination of events, ensuring smooth operations and delightful customer experiences.

"Expanding into West Virginia is not just a business move for us, but a significant milestone in our journey. We believe in growing our business alongside our family and team, sharing the amazing flavors of Cousins Maine Lobster with diverse communities, and creating lasting memories," says Victoria Alkoc, highlighting their dedication to their work.
