Today we’d like to introduce you to Tony Harrison.
Tony, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
We started our Cousins Maine Lobster business in 2015 after seeing them on Shark Tank. We were part of the “original 10”. We started with two food trucks and now have two brick & mortar restaurants (Lenox Mall and Marietta Square Market).
I spent 20 years in corporate America with Procter & Gamble. I then ventured out and became CEO of two companies that I later sold. I currently serve on three Boards… Boys & Girls Club, Cherokee County Education Foundation and President of the Food Truck Association of Georgia.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As with any small business, there have been many challenges but also many great rewards.
Please tell us about Cousins Maine Lobster.
We sell the best lobster in the world… Maine Lobster. We have the highest quality product sourced from the only sustainable lobster fishery in the world. We sell the best product at the best prices in Atlanta. Additionally, we have great employees and very low turnover.
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
A fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay with just me and my Father. As the youngest of four, I didn’t have a lot of one on one time without my siblings around.
