FLORIDA — Captain D’s, a leading fast-casual seafood restaurant, has announced it has 14 restaurants set to open by mid-year in states such as Florida.
“The team at Captain D’s has been hard at work, securing real estate opportunities in thriving markets and setting up franchisees for success to join or expand with us,” said Brad Reed, chief development officer for Captain D’s.
“We look forward to celebrating this success throughout the upcoming year as we open more restaurants, enter new markets and take the brand to increasing heights.”
In addition to Florida, other states with Captain D’s locations set to open this year include Georgia, Ohio, Texas, and Tennessee.
Captain D’s has a Fort Walton Beach store at 19 Miracle Strip Pkwy SW, and a Crestview location at 2410 S Ferdon Blvd. Also, there are Captin D’s stores in Panama City, Milton and Pensacola.
Captain D’s signed 16 new agreements in 2021 to develop 40 locations in key markets nationwide over the next several years, including Tampa, according to Captain D’s.
Captain D’s also celebrated milestone restaurant openings in 2021, including the brand’s first double drive-thru in Tupelo, Mississippi, first Chicago-area location, and multiple cost-effective conversions.
Two of the 2022 openings will be both franchise and company debuts of the new ‘Express’ prototype, a significantly smaller footprint featuring only a drive-thru and walk-up windows for ordering and picking up, Captain D’s said in its announcement.
The brand is also continuing its success in converting vacant restaurant properties with a recent franchise opening in Elberton, Georgia, and two more conversions planned in Florida this summer.
