When cousins Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac launched their food truck Cousins Maine Lobster in Los Angeles in 2012, food trucks were red-hot. But while many trucks fizzled out after a few years and the broader trend settled into a sort of community-by-community niche, Cousins has expanded through franchising and established itself as an international seafood sensation with both truck and brick-and-mortar locations.
Tselikis joins the podcast to talk about how a food-truck business has some inherent advantages during the COVID-19 crisis, why the food-truck experience is more important than ever, and why a $17 lobster roll still has a place in the value conversation even during a recession.
