Nation’s Leading Fast Casual Seafood Restaurant Seeks Prospective Franchisees at the Restaurant Finance & Development Conference Nov. 13-15 in Las Vegas
Captain D’s, the nation’s leading fast casual seafood restaurant, announced today the signing of two new franchise development agreements to expand the brand’s footprint and open new restaurants in Missouri and Texas. Over the past several years, Captain D’s has experienced a surge in franchise development fueled by the brand’s ongoing success, with six consecutive years of same-store sales increases and four successive years of record high system-wide AUV. To further drive this momentum, Captain D’s will be exhibiting at the Restaurant Finance & Development Conference from November 13-15 in Las Vegas and is seeking qualified candidates to join the brand’s growing franchise network.
“Throughout 2017, we have experienced explosive growth and development, opening new locations across the country and signing agreements to bring dozens of new restaurants to key markets nationwide. As the year comes to a close, we are looking ahead to the future and have no doubt we will continue building on this compounding momentum and propel the brand to new heights,” said Michael Arrowsmith, chief development officer of Captain D’s. “Our franchisees are a vital part of this success, and we encourage qualified candidates looking to diversify their portfolio with a leading fast casual concept to visit our booth at the Restaurant Finance & Development Conference and learn more about Captain D’s franchising opportunities.”
The new and existing Captain D’s franchise agreements signed include:
- Alaskan Ventures LLC, led by Mohammad “Jimmy” K. Jamshed, has signed an agreement to open a new restaurant in Stephenville, Texas. Jamshed has over 20 years of experience in multi-unit executive management.
- Tom Durst of Tommy D’s, Inc. has signed an agreement to open a new restaurant in Wentzville, Missouri. Durst has over a decade of experience in the foodservice industry, operating three restaurants throughout Missouri including a Dairy Queen franchise.
