Cousins Maine Lobster Truck Is in Olney Until May 30 - The MoCo Show (2024)

Cousins Maine Lobster, a leading quick-service Maine lobster roll concept, previously announced the launch of their newest franchise market in Maryland when they opened theirnew food truck on August 18 at Streetcar 82 Brewing Company in Hyattsville, Maryland. This week, until May 30th they’ll be at the Olney Village Center (18330 Town Center Dr.) near IHOP from 11am until 7pm.

The operation is led by franchisees and brothersYunus and Thameem Shahul and is part of a multi-unit franchise food truck deal for Washington, DC; Maryland; and Virginia. Yunus Shahul joined the Cousins Maine Lobster Franchise Family in September 2018 with his first food truck in Connecticut. Over the past five years the brothers have worked together to expand their franchise footprint to five markets that span from Connecticut to Virginia.

The Shahul brothers launched their first DMV-area food truck in Virginia in March 2023 and have seen great success. “We are committed to investing in the DMV with the goal of building the same strong customer base that we have in our established markets,” Yunus explained. “Our brand has experienced great growth and a strong customer following on the East Coast and we know we can continue to connect with consumers in the DMV.”

“Our growth has been measured and strategic,” explained JimTselikis, Cousins Maine Lobster co-founder. “Not only have the Shahul brothers grown with Cousins Maine Lobster, but Cousins Maine Lobster has grown with them. We truly believe that our strength is in our franchisees and we are thrilled to grow in the DMV with the Yunus and Thameem at the helm.”

Maryland marks the 54th unit for the Cousins Maine Lobster franchise system, which also includes seven brick and mortar stores. They are actively franchising across the US and are currently seeking priority candidates for the Midwest. They are also evaluating new real estate to expand their brick and mortar footprint.
