About Cousins Subs

Based in Milwaukee, Wis., Cousins Subs Systems Inc. is a national sub sandwich chain with 158 stores in 12 states throughout the Midwest and on the West Coast. Cousins Subs began in 1972 when two transplanted cousins from Atlantic City, William "Bill" Specht and James "Jim" Sheppard, saw the need for an East Coast-style sub shop in their new hometown. Patterning their subs after the hoagie, grinder, hero and sub sandwiches they enjoyed back East, the founders dedicated themselves to delivering quality subs at fair prices. Today, Cousins Subs restaurants around the country carry on the tradition begun in Milwaukee more than 30 years ago, serving delicious Italian bread, fresh-baked every day and topped with only the freshest produce, meats and cheeses.
