## Story

At just 33 years old, Dossani is already one of the most successful franchisees in the Captain D’s system. He grew up in a franchising family and got an early start in his 20s as a Steak & Shake owner. Attracted to Captain D’s strong presence in the Atlanta area, he began developing with the brand five years ago and has grown quickly.

Dossani started with traditional 44-seat dining room locations in Acworth and Norcross, then opened Captain D’s first franchise-owned Express prototype in South Fulton, featuring drive-thru and walk-up service only. Later this summer, he will be opening his fifth restaurant in Ellenwood, which will also be the first Captain D’s in-line with a convenience store. Together with this Dunkin’ conversion in Marietta, he will soon be operating every prototype the brand currently offers.

The new Marietta restaurant features Captain D’s vibrant, coastal design and welcoming atmosphere, serving high-quality seafood with warm hospitality at an affordable price. With spacious dining room seating for 30, the restaurant also has drive-thru, carry-out and call-ahead ordering options. Hours of operation are Sunday – Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday – Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Call-ahead orders can be placed.
