Cousins Maine Lobster: Sabin Lomac

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.
