Cousins Maine Lobster Franchise Overview
Overview
We offer the highest quality Maine lobster and seafood products in both a FOOD TRUCK and a fast casual STOREFRONT business model.
We’re real cousins with a passion for the sweet, delicious Maine lobster we grew up eating. We started selling lobster rolls out of a single truck in the spring of 2012. After a lot of hard work (and a good amount of fun) we now have a fleet of trucks and several franchise commitments throughout the United States.
Additionals
Nationally recognized and winners of numerous awards and accolades, Cousins Maine Lobster serves wild caught, sustainably harvested, 100% premium lobster from the finest waters in the world – the coast of Maine. See our complete menu offerings on line and visit one of our highly successful food truck or storefront markets to taste the difference and see what the buzz on our brand is all about.
Cousins Maine Lobster is looking for motivated, experienced business people to help us expand our brand of Maine lobster around the world.
We’re seeking franchisees who are committed to our brand, offering the highest quality food in a family-friendly environment with outstanding customer service, and offering Maine lobster every day from our official Cousins Maine Lobster food trucks.
