Captain D's Accelerates International Growth

Captain D's, a prominent player in the fast-casual seafood franchise sector, is gearing up for substantial international expansion as interest from potential franchise partners across Europe continues to grow. The company recently concluded a successful initial development trip abroad, which has laid the foundation for exploratory discussions in key European markets.

In October, Hair Parra, the Senior Vice President of International Operations and Development, is set to return to Europe to engage with potential franchisees. The visit, scheduled for the second week of October, will focus on Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, with possibilities of including additional countries in the itinerary.

Particular attention is being given to Italy, where discussions with prospective partners are currently underway. The company is also investigating opportunities in Spain, specifically in both Madrid and Valencia. Markets such as Poland and France have shown to be promising, adding to Captain D's excitement about European expansion.

Parra stated, “Every time we travel abroad, we come back with more conversations and new contacts. It’s thrilling to witness genuine interest from seasoned operators who recognize the potential of introducing a proven American seafood brand into their markets.” This positive international momentum aligns perfectly with a new growth phase being undertaken domestically, highlighted by the unveiling of a revamped restaurant concept in San Antonio, Texas, back in September.

The San Antonio location serves as the first exemplification of Captain D's new restaurant design, which offers a modern ambiance while maintaining the brand's well-established identity. The company plans to roll out this refreshed concept to additional US markets, including regions in Florida, Ohio, and Oklahoma. At the same time, Captain D's is continuing its search for suitable partners on an international scale.

Chief Development Officer, Brad Reed, emphasized that Captain D's growth story transcends the mere opening of new restaurants. “We are evolving the Captain D's experience while remaining true to what has made the brand a success for over fifty years. This blend captures the interest of operators eager to be part of Captain D's next chapter, both in the United States and overseas.”

Captain D's is on the lookout for experienced restaurant operators, multi-unit franchisees, and master franchise partners who are keen to help build multiple locations internationally. Interested parties can reach out via their specified communication channel.
