Cousins Maine Lobster (CML), the fast-casual lobster roll brand, is expanding its California footprint with the launch of a new truck in at 440 North Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The latest opening will be spearheaded by Karan Singh, who recently took over the brand’s Los Angeles trucks in May. This location will meet the growing demand for high-quality seafood across the state.
In addition to operating his Cousins Maine Lobster trucks, Singh brings extensive experience from well-known brands and currently owns Subway franchises. As a Southern California resident, he spotted a Cousins Maine Lobster truck on the street and recalled the brand’s appearance on Shark Tank.
“I’ve always been drawn to brands that deliver both unmatched quality and a unique experience, and Cousins Maine Lobster does just that,” said Karan Singh. “After seeing the truck in action and learning the story behind it, I knew it was something special. It’s been an honor serving the L.A. community this year, and we’ve been eagerly anticipating this next phase of growth in Southern California.”
“Karan’s exceptional operational leadership and dedication have made him an incredible partner for our brand — we can’t wait for his continued development in Southern California,” said Lindsay Herberger, director of franchise development at Cousins Maine Lobster. “”We’ve seen firsthand how committed he is to creating an authentic experience, and we’re confident the Ventura truck will bring the same energy and genuine taste of Maine lobster to even more neighborhoods in Southern California.”
The brand is currently targeting markets with strong demand for high-quality, fast-casual seafood, including Charleston, South Carolina; the Midwest, including Wichita, Kansas, Des Moines, Iowa and Omaha; and areas across the west, including San Diego, Reno, Nevada and Seattle.
