Area Developer Testimonial

After college I joined my families business for a number of years. Eventually, my wife and I decided to explore other business possibilities of our own. We did a great deal of research and decided to become an Area Developer for Cousins Subs. Within the first three years we were successful with the development of our first ten locations that we decided to sign up for ten more as well as expand our territory.

The Cousins Subs Area Development program has given us the ability to grow our own business into a dynamic enterprise. We have truly enjoyed helping others realize their dream of owning their own business and becoming entrepreneurs. The Cousins Area Development program has also given us the autonomy that we desire as individual business owners while also providing us the added support from Cousins Corporate.

We recently signed for another ten locations bringing our total to thirty Cousins Subs shops within our territory. We hope to sign for another ten locations within the next few years.
