MILWAUKEE (Jan. 10, 2019)\u2014 Cousins Subs today announced former crew members Justin and Laura McGraw have rejoined the company as franchisees, taking ownership of their first Cousins Subs location in Brookfield, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
Justin began his career with Cousins Subs in 2001 as a crew member at the sub shop in Hales Corners, Wisconsin. He held a variety of positions during his six years with the brand, including sandwich maker, cashier, baker and shift manager. Laura was hired by Cousins Subs in 2005. During her four years with the company, she enjoyed building subs, cashiering and baking fresh bread. Justin and Laura met and fell in love while employed by Cousins Subs and got married in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of my career decisions were a steppingstone for us to get to this point,\u201d said Justin McGraw. \u201cMy career trajectory has taught me so much about running a business and has set us up for success in our new role as franchisees. Coming home to Cousins Subs has always been my dream, and I am so fortunate to make it a reality as a new business owner.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJustin and Laura McGraw will be exemplary Cousins Subs franchise owners,\u201d said Joe Ferguson, Vice President of Development at Cousins Subs. \u201cThey share our belief that quality has no substitute and will treat all guests and employees like family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are lucky the Lorentz\u2019s have done a phenomenal job developing strong community relationships,\u201d said Laura McGraw. \u201cWe plan to nurture them and expand our community outreach to give back to more worthy groups and organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n
