USA | Cousins Maine Lobster has announced further engagement with top franchisees to drive growth across western Florida.
Cousins Maine Lobster, the Shark Tank phenom known for serving up the world's best, wild-caught, Maine lobster rolls announced today that veteran franchisees and brothers, Yunus and Thameem Shahul, have taken over ownership of the Tampa, Florida market, driving expansion north as far as Cedar Key, east to Lakeland, west to Clearwater, and south to Arcadia.
The Shahul brothers began franchising with Cousins Maine Lobster in 2018, and over the past six years, have launched 10 markets with a focus on developing best-in-class food truck teams that deliver outstanding guest experiences.
"Yunus and Thameem are investing in long-term growth for Tampa, Florida, leveraging their best leaders to hire, train, and develop great local operations teams. They are fabricating all new food trucks and are building new partnerships throughout the region. We are excited to partner with one of our top franchisees to ignite this growth," said Co-Founder, Jim Tselikis.
The CML Truck is set to relaunch, marking Shahul's 15th CML food truck to date. Yunus Shahul invited the community to join in the celebration.
"We are thrilled to bring Cousins Maine Lobster back to Tampa, offering authentic Maine lobster to the community we love. We are excited to serve Tampa but also the vibrant cities of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Lakeland, Clermont, Bartow and many more. We can't wait to reconnect with our loyal customers and new friends in and across Tampa Bay."
Recently, Cousins Maine Lobster expanded into Minneapolis as part of its food truck tour.
The tour will be led by franchisee Chris Papp, who joined the Cousins Maine Lobster family in 2018 and now covers territories across the southeast with two restaurant locations and four food trucks. He is one of several Cousins Maine Lobster food trucks conducting a summer tour to expand our reach to new markets this summer.
