Founded by cousins Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis in 2012, Cousins Maine Lobster began as a passion project rooted in family traditions.

Their vision was to share this cherished tradition with people across the country. A pivotal moment came when they appeared on Shark Tank in October 2012, securing an investment from Barbara Corcoran. Since then, the business has expanded rapidly, establishing brick-and-mortar restaurants, food trucks, and food halls in 26 states and the District of Columbia.The Chicago franchise continues to bring this delicious fare to various locations throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, and Missouri.
