US-based fast casual seafood restaurant chain Captain D’s has signed two franchise development agreements to boost its growth in Texas.
Captain D’s has seen a surge in franchise development over the past few years and will continue to fuel this expansion by exhibiting at the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference from 3 April to 6 April in Las Vegas, seeking experienced multi-unit operators who wish to diversify with them.
Captain D’s chief development officer Brad Reed said: “As the first fast casual seafood concept to integrate a fire-grilled platform and better-for-you grilled items into our core menu, Captain D’s commitment to innovation has solidified its position as the industry leader.
“Our continued success has allowed us to accelerate development efforts in several prime expansion markets, and we’re thrilled to be growing the brand’s footprint in Texas alongside our experienced franchise operators.”
The Texas expansion includes new restaurant openings in Houston, Dallas and Garland, with the brand attributing ‘new and existing franchisees’ with driving its growth.
Mohammad K. Jamshed of Alaskan Ventures, with over 20 years of multi-unit executive management experience, has signed an agreement with Captain D’s to open a restaurant in Gatesville, Texas. The Gatesville location will be the third Captain D’s location in the state. Two additional restaurants, in Stephenville and Hillsboro, are earmarked for further growth.
