Chris Papp joined the CML Franchise Family in 2018 when he launched his first food truck in Charlotte, NC. "We started this tour in 2020 with our Charlotte operation to test new markets and introduce people to the lobster rolls.

CML co-founder Jim Tselikis celebrated Papp's annual tour. "We encourage this kind of creativity and innovation within our Franchise Family. Every year, we are excited to see where Chris decides to go. His out-of-the-box thinking and approach to business invigorates our entire operation. It is a great way to kick off the year."
