Bringing wild-caught Maine Lobster to your neighborhood!
About us
Started in 2012 by real-life Cousins and Mainers, Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, Cousins Maine Lobster began with two things: A food truck, and a shared vision to extend the highest-quality Maine lobster to the lobster-starved masses by making it affordable and accessible. Cousins Maine Lobster brings an authentic Maine seafood experience to local communities by staying close to the source and proudly serving only premium, wild-caught lobster from Maine, accompanied by their signature Downeast Maine hospitality. Cuisine includes classic Maine fare like their world famous lobster rolls, savory lobster tacos, authentic New England clam chowder, and classic whoopie pies. A successful nationwide franchise, Cousins Maine Lobster garnered national fame after their appearance on ABC's Shark Tank. They partnered with Shark and real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran and are now one of the top 3 Shark Tank investments of all time. The brand has been franchising for 11 years, and operates more than 80 units across the US in both franchise and Company markets. Cousins Maine Lobster has garnered a cult like following, now grossing more than $80 million a year in sales. The brand has been featured on The Food Network, Good Morning America, Fox Business, The Today Show, CNBC, The Cooking Channel, and more, and has received countless awards for best lobster rolls and for being the best food trucks. Cousins Maine Lobster continues to expand their reach across the country, and is seeking new franchisees for new markets. Learn more here: www.cousinsmainelobster.com/franchising

To bring culturally resonant retail moments to life, you have to meet people where commerce, content, and community naturally overlap. This activation with Steve Madden in NYC did exactly that... By pairing a summer favorite Cousins Maine Lobster, with in store shopping, we transformed a traditional retail environment into a high-traffic cultural moment: 🦞 A food-led entry point that drove organic foot traffic 👠 An elevated in-store experience featuring drinks and a charm bracelet bar 🚕 Seamless integration between lifestyle, hospitality, and product discovery The result: a space that felt less like a store visit and more like a neighborhood moment, where guests genuinely "came for the lobster rolls, and stayed for the shoes."

Fourteen years after building Cousins Maine Lobster into a 100-unit system, Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac aren’t pivoting—they’re expanding the playbook. The founders are launching a new concept, Cousins Fried Seafood, built on the same food truck model but with a broader, more accessible menu. What stands out is the strategy behind it: • Lower price point → wider audience • Same infrastructure → easier franchise adoption • New category → more density per market It’s a smart unlock for franchisees who were starting to hit a ceiling.
