Cousins Maine Lobster Announces New Truck Opening in Oklahoma City, OK

The new Oklahoma City truck is owned by Jimmy Shoshani and Ahmer & Sarah Khan, they are one of Cousins Maine Lobster’s most experienced franchisees. Shoshani, the brand’s most tenured franchisee, joined in 2014 and launched the Las Vegas market in 2015. After years in the wine and spirits and fuel center business, he saw the potential in Cousins Maine Lobster and transitioned to the CML business full-time.

Khan, also a successful Emergency Room physician, joined the brand in 2018. Born and raised in Dallas, Khan’s family has a long history in the fuel center industry, and also spent time gaining experience within the QSR industry. He and his wife, Sarah, partnered with Shoshani to grow the brand across Texas, with six CML trucks throughout Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Tyler.

Oklahoma City marks their seventh unit, with plans to open additional trucks in San Antonio, Texas, later this summer and in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Bentonville, Arkansas in 2026.

“We’ve received incredible support from communities across Texas, and we’re excited to bring that same passion, energy, and experience to Oklahoma,” said Khan. “Launching during marathon weekend, as the city comes together to honor its history and celebrate resilience, makes this opening even more meaningful. Returning to Oklahoma City is especially exciting– it’s an opportunity to reintroduce the brand to a market that’s always shown excitement, and we’re committed to building lasting connections and delivering the quality experience fans have come to expect from Cousins Maine Lobster.”

The local community is invited to attend the grand opening on April 26th at Angry Scotsman Brewing from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Guests will have an opportunity to enjoy classic Maine fare including CML’s world-famous Maine lobster rolls, authentic New England clam chowder and delicious whoopie pies.
