Franchisor Profile

A successful entrepreneur, The Cob Shop founder Sean Langdon is a hairdresser and salon owner whose business came to a halt during the lockdown in 2021. Like many couples at home during the pandemic, Sean and his wife started to kill the boredom by experimenting in the kitchen. They began making cobs and eventually started a Facebook page for their budding flavour creations. When their profile blew up with thousands of followers and local requests for delivery, they answered the call, fulfilling over 80 orders in their first week. From there, the pair bought a marquee, and took to local markets before investing in the Cobmobile and travelling even further with their successful new venture. Today, their popularity has boomed beyond their wildest dreams, and demand is rolling in from customers across the country. Together, the Langdons have found a way to serve delicious food in seconds and turn eye-watering profits with their simple, proven business model. Seeing the loyalty and enthusiasm of The Cob Shop fans, the brand is destined to become the next food truck sensation with the help of passionate franchise partners ready to serve some killer cobs.
