## Story

For Captain D’s, Missouri is a prime market for expansion efforts. According to a recent article in Fast Casual, the brand has officially opened its latest location in the Wentzville market. The restaurant will be owned and operated by franchisee Tom Durst, an industry veteran whose portfolio includes work with Dairy Queen.

"The fast casual segment has become increasingly saturated in recent years, and while there are countless franchise opportunities available today, it was important for us to find a concept that was committed to delivering an exceptional brand experience and positioning each and every franchisee for success. When we were introduced to Captain D's, it was obvious that we found the perfect fit," said Durst.

Previous Captain D's openings in Missouri this year include Overland and Cape Girardeau.
