Captain D’s announced today the opening of its third Express model, a new prototype for the fast casual seafood restaurant. Featuring a double drive-thru and carryout service only, this company-owned restaurant is located in the St. Louis, Missouri, market at 8001 N. Lindberg Ave. in Hazelwood. Captain D’s Express debuted last year with a franchise location in Atlanta and a company-owned Express in the Columbus, Ohio, market.
Sporting a significantly smaller design with no dining room, Express is a sleek 960 square feet. This innovative model meets the demands of urban markets with limited space and caters to customers on the move with a drive-thru and walk-up windows. The revamped kitchen layout and streamlined menu of Captain D’s core favorites – batter-dipped fish, chicken, catfish, and shrimp -expedites cooking times and accelerates service.
“With our focus on drive-thru efficiency and convenience on the go, Captain D’s Express is a natural fit for a busy metropolitan area like St. Louis,” said Brad Reed, Chief Development Officer of Captain D’s. “We are always striving to serve our guests in the best way we can, focusing on our food quality, speed of service and all the other ways we can best bring Captain D’s to the community. We look forward to elevating the overall customer experience in Hazelwood with Express.”
Captain D’s at 8001 N. Lindberg Ave. in Hazelwood is open every day of the week 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
