After an insanely successful first day, the founders of Cousins Maine Lobster knew they had an instant classic on their hands. But what they didn't know was that some of their early customers were actually Shark Tank producers. Not once, but twice, the producers tried to convince the two founders into appearing but each time, they turned it down. Eventually, the call of the Tank was too powerful to ignore and Cousins Maine Lobster appeared on Season 4 of Shark Tank. Since closing a deal with Barbara Corcoran, they have been able to expand to over 50 trucks and locations across 24 states. In today's episode, we chat with Sabin Lamac, the co-founder of Cousins Maine Lobster about:

Sherri gives her hilarious take on the latest headlines! Then, host, author, and broadcaster Elizabeth Vargas stops by to talk about her one-hour live news show, “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” on NewsNation. Plus, Cousins Maine Lobster founders Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, whose food truck business and brand were supported by “Shark Tank's” Barbara Corcoran, cook up some delicious lobster dishes for summer!

What's it really like to work with Barbara Corcoran after making a deal on Shark Tank? Or better yet, how should you be eating your lobster rolls? Host Jon Dick is joined by co-founders of Cousins Maine Lobster, Sabin Lomac & Jim Tselikis to answer what's it like to actually pitch to the sharks, how their business handled the rapid growth after airing, and if going in the Tank is the right move for other entrepreneurs.

In this episode I interview Sabin Lomac who along with his cousin Jim Tselikis co-founded Cousins Maine Lobster and have grown it into 50 units including gourmet food trucks, fast-casual restaurants and an overnight mail order business from Maine to your door and whose wakeup call was visiting his cousin in Los Angeles and getting the idea for bringing the affordable luxury of lobster rolls, etc. into the food truck industry which exploded after a successful appearance on Shark Tank. http://cousinsmainelobster.com

Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, actual cousins from Maine who founded Cousins Maine Lobster, started with one truck, a simple menu and a commitment to source the best-tasting, best-quality Maine lobster for their lobster rolls. That caught the attention of Barbara Corcoran when the pair pitched the concept on Shark Tank. She invested and mentored the partners, and 10 years later, Cousins Maine Lobster has close to 50 locations, including nine brick-and-mortar restaurants and an enthusiastic team of franchisees who are driving growth. Listen as the pair discuss why lobster prices have skyrocketed, the importance of keeping the menu limited to what they do best, how they spread the Maine spirit to both franchisees and customers and how they strive to be the name and face of Maine lobster as they grow.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Sabin Lomac, co-founder of Cousins Maine Lobster, brining authentic Maine lobster nationwide through food trucks and brick & mortar restaurants. Growing up in Maine, Sabin and his family had been absorbed into the seafood space, consisting in memorable items such as the lobster role.  As Sabin departed for California, he quickly became aware of the LA scene... Cheap, inauthentic foods, provided for the typical unaware tourist. When Sabin's cousin Jimmy came to visit, they recalled on the food back home in contrast to California. The childhood picnics, home feeling, and of course the delicious lobster, pushed them to do something about the void in the LA food scene. In 2012, they launched their first food truck, quickly experiencing substantial lines. Following quick growth and a brand customers gravitated towards, the cousins decided to make an appearance on ABC's, Shark Tank. Landing a deal with Barbara Corcoran, Cousins Maine Lobster has grown the business into a franchise machine, acquiring locations across the U.S. Make sure to check out Cousins Maine Lobster at: https://www.cousinsmainelobster.com/   Follow Starting Small: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startingsmallpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Startingsmallpod/?modal=admin_todo_tour LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/cameronnagle   Support for Starting Small comes from Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance ergonomic products that help create a healthier work life.

Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac are the founders of Cousins Maine Lobster,  a franchise food truck business based in Los Angeles, California.  The idea for Cousins Maine Lobster came when cousins Jim and Sabin were discussing food they used to eat while growing up in Maine. Impressed with the Los Angeles food truck industry, they decided to start selling Maine lobster in the L.A. area.  The company received an investment of $55,000 from Barbara Corcoran after appearing on Shark Tank in 2012.  More content on https://createeveryopportunity.org/ 

The idea for Cousins Maine Lobster originated over a night of drinking and a visit between two cousins, Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis. Jim had trekked out to visit Sabin in L.A., and a few drinks into the night, the conversation grew nostalgic as they reminisced about their shared Maine childhood.  “We decided that we wanted to do something creative. We wanted to work together. And the more we drank, the more nostalgic we got about our childhood. And that led to lobster,” Sabin recalls.  Opening a restaurant seemed too daunting, with long leases and big buildouts. This was 2012 in L.A., and gourmet food trucks were just beginning to arrive on the scene. The cousins figured they could buy one for around $60,000.  “Let's put a truck on the street. Let's represent our home state. What we wanted really was just to recreate our childhood,” Jim adds. “We were privileged to have grown up with the best lobster in the world and we wanted to bring it to other areas… at the end of the day, it was a passion project. Something we could do together, have fun with, represent our home state of Maine, and see where it goes.”  Ten years, one “Shark Tank” investor, 50 food trucks and a franchise later, and the cousins have created a multi-million dollar business. In this episode of the Working For a Dream Podcast, Jesse Lee tells Patrick how she made it big in network marketing after starting at zero — and how she ultimately created success on her own terms.   What You'll Learn: How the question “what would make our moms happy?” led the cousins to develop such a successful business idea How they managed to stay cool, calm and collected in the Tank What it's like to have Barbara Corcoran as an investor And much more!   Favorite Quote: “That's one of the things we were taught, is like, hey. You may not know everything. We always say we didn't go to business school. We didn't have any restaurant experience. But what we did have was passion. This had a lot of meaning for us, because it was about our family.” — Jim Tselikis   How to Get Involved:   Connect with Sabin and Jim:  Facebook Instagram Cousins Maine Lobster   Connect with Patrick:  LinkedIn Facebook Instagram

How a food truck startup founded by two cousins from Maine tested the “Shark Tank” waters and made a big splash.  Mainebiz Senior Writer Renee Cordes interviews Cousins Maine Lobster Co-Founder Jim Tselikis.

In this special episode of Modrn Business, Zack riffs with Shark Tank alumni and co-founders of Cousins Maine Lobster, Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac. We discuss how they’ve used technology to create a no-touch experience for their food trucks/restaurants, the founding story/how they found franchising, how they used their experience on Shark Tank to catapult their business forward and their goals for 2021.

When cousins Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac launched their food truck Cousins Maine Lobster in Los Angeles in 2012, food trucks were red-hot. But while many trucks fizzled out after a few years and the broader trend settled into a sort of community-by-community niche, Cousins has expanded through franchising and established itself as an international seafood sensation with both truck and brick-and-mortar locations. Tselikis joins the podcast to talk about how a food-truck business has some inherent advantages during the COVID-19 crisis, why the food-truck experience is more important than ever, and why a $17 lobster roll still has a place in the value conversation even during a recession.

Sabin Lomac, co-owner of Cousins Maine Lobster joins us on Party's Over Podcast to chat about his Maine inspired business. Sabin had always dreamed of the entertainment world. He dreamed of one day being an actor and set off to NYC to pursue this dream. Eventually Sabin found himself moving to the West Coast where he began a successful career in real-estate. He loved his life on the West Coast and his career, but when Sabin's cousin came to visit him things changed. After one night of one too many drinks celebrating their reunion the idea of Cousins Maine Lobster was born. This idea quickly turned into an appearance on ABC's Shark Tank and is now a multi-million dollar franchise. Sabin shares with us just what this journey was like and how he grew the company to what it is today.

They say the beginning was chaotic and confusing, yet promising and exciting. In 2012 when Cousins Maine Lobster hit the streets in LA, they had one truck, a small staff and very little restaurant experience. Thankfully, they had passion and an amazing product. From day one, people would line up 50 to 60 people deep. A few years later on Shark Tank, they explained how they wanted to grow the concept and got one of the "sharks" to invest. Dozens of trucks now sell their famous lobster rolls around the country. They've just opened their first international location in Taiwan with an eye to more in the future.

Have you ever had one too many drinks with friends and come up with an absolutely brilliant business idea that you then launch and six years later becomes an international, $20 million dollar brand? You think I’m kidding. Today I’m interviewing two of the most famous cousins in the business world, Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, co-founders of Cousins Maine Lobster. You may know them from one of the early episodes of Shark Tank. Barbara Corcoran ended up taking a stake in their then 2-month old business. Since then they started franchising, opening brick & mortar restaurants, and now they’ve published a book called Cousins Maine Lobster: How One Food Truck Became a Multi-Million Dollar Business.  Sabin and Jim grew up together in Maine eating lobster off paper plates all throughout their childhoods. They went to college and started separate careers in different states and went a few years without much interaction. However, that all changed when Jim flew to LA where Sabin lived and asked him if he wanted to go out to eat dinner to catch up. That infamous dinner - which inlcuded more than a few drinks - was when they hatched the idea for their business. We discuss how they prepared for Shark Tank, their biggest money mistakes and the big-ticket item they’re both saving up for now.  Visit www.somoneypodcast.com for more.

Jim & Sabin are the co-founders of Cousins Maine Lobster, an internationally recognized food truck and restaurant franchise, featuring authentic Maine eats, always using wild-caught, sustainably harvested, premium lobster from Maine.   They rose to acclaim after partnering with Barbara Corcoran on ABC's Shark Tank in 2012.  They just released their book, titled "Cousins Maine Lobster: How One Food Truck Became a Multi-Million Dollar Business".
