Cousins Subs
A Cousins Subs Shop serves submarine and deli-style sandwiches, along with other food products, to the general public. We prepare sandwiches using fresh baked bread and specially prepared meat products, along with other designated food items. Our restaurants are designed for dine-in, carry-out, and drive-up service, and some locations may operate in non-traditional or co-located settings. We use a uniform restaurant format with standard equipment, methods, procedures, and store designs to deliver a consistent guest experience. Cousins Subs Shops compete with other sandwich shops, fast-food restaurants, and similar food service businesses.
