Cousins Maine Lobster: Expanding Tastes in Greenville, SC
Cousins Maine Lobster (CML), the frontrunner in the fast-casual lobster roll scene, is making waves in South Carolina with the grand opening of a new food truck in Greenville. Set against the backdrop of the lively craft beer haven, Grateful Brew, this event marks an exciting addition to the diverse culinary landscape of the Upstate.
On April 4, from noon to 6 PM, the local community will gather to indulge in the signature offerings of CML, a brand that has rapidly gained popularity for serving premium Maine lobster dishes. Following a successful launch in Columbia just a few weeks prior, the company aims to build on its momentum by introducing its delicious menu to Greenville, which is renowned for its thriving food culture and community spirit.
The Food Truck Revolution
Cousins Maine Lobster was co-founded in 2012 by cousins Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, who were inspired to share their New England roots with a broader audience. Their appearance on the hit show Shark Tank, where they partnered with investor Barbara Corcoran, helped catapult the brand to commercial success. Today, the food truck concept remains popular for its ability to connect with local communities while serving up high-quality seafood dishes.
At the heart of Cousins Maine Lobster’s mission is the commitment to provide an exceptional dining experience that brings people together. Franchise owners Matt Cobb and Dave Blosser, who spearhead the Columbia food truck, emphasize the importance of local engagement. “We've seen firsthand how the truck brings people together,” Cobb shared. “From the excitement of the line to that first bite of wild-caught Maine lobster, it creates a unique experience you don't find every day.”
Signature Offerings
Guests at the Greenville debut will enjoy a range of delectable options, including:
- - Chilled Maine lobster rolls, accented with a hint of mayo and served on a traditional New England-style roll.
- - Warm butter lobster rolls, which deliver a comforting taste of buttery goodness.
- - Lobster tacos and unique lobster grilled cheese for those looking to indulge in something different.
- - Classic whoopie pies that perfectly wrap up the experience with a sweet touch.
The focus on quality is uncompromised as CML showcases only wild-caught Maine lobster, ensuring that every dish reflects the brand’s dedication to excellence. The combination of great food and a lively atmosphere makes this opening an event not to be missed.
Community Engagement
Cousins Maine Lobster aims to integrate itself fully into the Greenville community, aiming to replicate the enthusiasm and customer loyalty established in Columbia. “Greenville has such a great local energy, and we're excited to be part of it and introduce more people to what makes Cousins Maine Lobster special,” noted Blosser. The truck is designed to cover multiple markets, creating a strong local footprint while also allowing for visits to surrounding areas in South Carolina.
As the brand pioneers its way into being one of America's leading seafood concepts, it continues to actively seek passionate entrepreneurs interested in franchising opportunities. For those eager to bring high-quality lobster experiences to their own communities, CML offers a scalable business model that has proven successful across numerous states.
