ABOUT COUSINS SUBS
Cousins Subs® and its franchisees operate more than 130 sub sandwich shops in four states, with bold expansion
plans. The first Cousins Subs was established in Milwaukee in 1972 by Bill Specht and his cousin. Their dream
was to bring East Coast-style sub sandwiches to Milwaukee – with their own handcrafted touch. They started
with their bread, developing a secret recipe with the perfect taste and crunch. That bread is the cornerstone of
the Cousins Subs slogan, “Better Bread. Better Subs. Better Day.” The original recipe is still closely followed
at every Cousins Subs store, where each sandwich is made to order using freshly sliced deli meats, cheeses, and
vegetables – and the bread is baked fresh each day. Forty-one years later and still family owned, Cousins Subs
employees and franchisees are driven by their mission to “Make it a Better Day” in all they do. In 2013, the
brand proudly announced the establishment of the Make it Better Foundation, dedicated to funding causes that
address health and wellness, hunger and youth education in the communities that Cousins Subs serves. For more
