Which Shark Tank company became the first to secure a deal after pitching a food truck?
Answer
Cousins Maine Lobster
Answer
Cousins Maine Lobster
Cousins Maine Lobster became the first Shark Tank company to secure a deal after pitching a food truck.
The company was founded by cousins Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, who launched a Maine lobster business in Los Angeles. Their mobile food truck helped bring lobster rolls and related seafood products directly to customers rather than relying only on a conventional restaurant.
On Shark Tank, the founders made a deal with Barbara Corcoran. The company later expanded through additional food trucks, restaurants, retail products, and franchising, making it one of the show's best-known food businesses.
Cousins Maine Lobster is sometimes mixed up with other food companies that appeared on the program, including cupcake, bagel, and packaged-food brands. Its defining pitch format was the mobile lobster-food-truck model.
