September 22, 2025 // Franchising.com // VENTURA, Calif. – Cousins Maine Lobster (CML) is expanding its California footprint with the launch of a new truck in Ventura. 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 and offer local seafood lovers the opportunity to enjoy CML’s world-famous Maine lobster rolls, mouthwatering lobster tacos, savory lobster grilled cheese, and delicious whoopie pies, like the newest limited-time flavor, S’mores.
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. After exploring further research, he was hooked by the brand’s unmatched reputation and menu offerings. From that moment, he was determined to bring more fast-casual seafood options and Maine’s iconic flavors to the SoCal region.
“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. We can’t wait to give more people a true taste of Maine.”…
