One of the best indicators of a brand’s success is the continued growth and investment by its franchisees. We are very fortunate to have incredible franchise partners at CML, most of whom are actively expanding. All of our franchisees have taken that same leap of faith that Jim and Sabin did back in 2012, throwing caution to the wind to pursue an entrepreneurial journey focused on bringing an affordable luxury 🦞 to the masses across the nation! They continue to see success, they continue to build brand fans and they are working diligently to create multi-million dollar businesses. Franchise Times and Joe Halpern shared Yunus & Thameem’s story a few months ago. They’ve opened 4 new trucks year to date, including 2 that were part of the Illinois deal signed last November. 87 days signing to opening and they’re already generating revenue across 2 major metro areas! And the best part, they’re doing it with outstanding Ops leaders and a focus on being a great brand partner to those we work with. Franchise opportunities come in many shapes and sizes. If you are considering an entrepreneurial journey or diversification of your current business, I encourage you to reach out…we may just have the perfect opportunity for you! https://lnkd.in/ggYMr-My

It’s been an exciting week at Cousins Maine Lobster as we celebrate the opening of our second food truck in Maryland! Our amazing franchise partners, Yunus Shahul and Thameem Shahul, originally launched in Maryland last August. They have driven strong sales and have been building great relationships with our guests and partner venues and are energized to have the opportunity to reach even more lobster roll fans! 🦞 This makes truck #13 for Yunus and Thameem, with several more to come this year! They were also recently recognized for their outstanding operational performance! 🎉 Congratulations to the entire Smart Foods team on their continued expansion and relentless focus on delivering incredible guest experiences! 🥇 #franchisegrowth #opsexcellence #onaroll https://lnkd.in/dzRmpvCp
