Cousins Subs Announces Partnership with Donald Driver
Cousins Subs announced its first-ever joint venture partnership with retired Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver. The partnership will differ from a traditional franchising agreement because Cousins and Driver will share ownership of six locations.
