Area Developer Testimonials

Kate Krutz – Area Developer Phoenix, Arizona

“After spending 28 years with the largest franchise company in the world, McDonalds, and being a native of Wisconsin, I seized a golden opportunity to become a franchisee in the Phoenix market. When the opportunity presented itself to own the Phoenix market and become an Area Developer for my favorite sub chain that I grew up with, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.”

“In my opinion, Cousins provides far more support and hands on assistance with its Franchisee’s and Area Developers than I’ve experienced in my career. And by the way; the product is by far the best in the Industry!”

Jim Railing – Area Developer Southern Indiana

“As an Investment Banker and an Attorney I have financed multiple franchise deals throughout my career. Once my daughter graduated from Purdue and continued to show interest in continuing her career in the food service business, I explored all of the Sandwich concepts and decided on Cousins for two main reasons. The first was I had an opportunity to develop and bring the great Cousins brand to the state of Indiana. The second reason came down to the quality of the product, the field staff and the executive management team. Cousins truly is a great franchise company to work with. They focus on quality and taking care of all stake holders from the counter to the board room.”

Mark Beierle – Area Developer Southern Wisconsin & Northern Illinois

“While working as the operating partner for a franchisee of one of Wisconsin’s premier custard Companies, I knew I always wanted to branch off and be in charge of something I could call my own. When further opportunities with my then company didn’t transpire, I began looking at several franchise opportunities. The opportunity to become and Area Developer for Cousins Subs fit what I was looking for to a tee. The quality of all aspects of the company and overall economics of the developer package were what sealed the deal for me. I have an opportunity to open 10 Cousins stores as opposed to only one Custard location and earn a better return on my investment. Now that’s what I call a great business opportunity!”

Philip Hudson Jr. – Area Developer Northern Wisconsin

“I have been a small businessman most of my life. After a short while working for a much larger company, I decided it was time to stop working for someone else. My wife and I looked at opportunities across the country. After looking carefully at purchasing an existing business, we decided that franchising offered more security and less financial risk.”

“After exploring several different options we chose Cousins Subs because of their commitment to growth and the consistent high quality product. We also like the fact that they are a Wisconsin based company.”

Don Morello – Area Developer Dane County Wisconsin
