Cousins Maine Lobster has launched a new food truck in Charlotte, North Carolina, expanding its presence in the state to four trucks. The opening marks the company’s return to the Charlotte market.

The Charlotte food truck is operated by franchisees Savas and Victoria Alkoc. The Alkocs also manage Cousins Maine Lobster trucks in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida.

The grand opening event is scheduled for January 22 at Town Brewing Co., located at 800 Grandin Rd., from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The truck will serve menu items including lobster rolls, lobster tacos, lobster grilled cheese, New England clam chowder, and whoopie pies.

Cousins Maine Lobster’s expansion in North Carolina is part of a broader strategy to increase its food truck footprint in multiple markets. The company’s decision to re-enter the Charlotte market follows previous operations in the area and is based on what it describes as strong consumer demand.
