Cape Elizabeth, Maine native Jim Tselikis is co-author of the book Cousins Maine Lobster: How One Food Truck Became a Multi-Million Dollar Business, an entrepreneurial tell-all detailing how he and his business partner (and cousin), Sabin Lomac, took Cousins Maine Lobster from a single food truck to an international brand.
Cousins Maine Lobster and its lovable duo rose to national acclaim after an endearing 2012 Shark Tank appearance that culminated in a partnership with Shark Barbara Corcoran. The Cousins began franchising in 2014, bringing authentic Maine Lobster eats to unique neighborhoods across the U.S. In 2017, Cousins Maine Lobster expanded internationally into Taiwan. The Cousins aren't slowing down anytime soon, with plans to keep spreading a taste Maine into 2018 and beyond.
