South Portland, Me. — Cousins Maine Lobster opened its 75th unit in early November, located in Jacksonville, Fla. The brand, which launched in April 2012 by real-life cousins Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, now has 4 restaurants and 71 food trucks with reach across more than 30 states.
In addition to celebrating 75 units, the brand is also welcoming new franchisees to the system, business partners Mandy Ottesen and Damon Cole. From their initial training in Maine to the opening of their first truck, they’ve been able to launch their new business in approximately 5 months.
“This is an incredibly proud moment for us,” says Jim Tselikis, co-founder of Cousins Maine Lobster. “Sabin and I were driven to start this business because it allowed us to celebrate special moments from our childhood in Maine. We had this crazy dream that we could bring the world’s best lobster to seafood lovers everywhere, and we are so thrilled to be celebrating our 75th unit milestone in partnership with our company team and outstanding franchisees. We are delighted to be welcoming Mandy and Damon to the CML family, and we are so grateful for their partnership in this amazing journey.”
The new unit is located at 1543 San Marco Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32207.
