Cousins Subs

Cousins is a highly successful company that makes a difference in the lives of our stakeholders and in the communities we serve. The evolution of Cousins Subs began in 1972 when two cousins set out to bring their favorite style sub sandwich from the East Coast to their new hometown of Milwaukee. Driven by the belief that “there is no substitute for quality,” they began a legacy of meticulously crafting the finest sandwiches possible – using only bread baked daily, ingredients sliced deli-fresh and grilled subs made to order.

Today we continue to stay true to our mission to Believe in Better through the continual improvement in everything we do, by expanding our footprint to areas that crave our product most, and remodeling all locations to create a better dining experience. Our staff is united by a common obsession with doing things right, serving a better sandwich, and supporting the community – all of which is the driving force behind our culture and the next phase of Cousins long standing history. Come join a dynamic team and authentic brand with a bright future.
