## Story

Captain D’s, a fast casual seafood restaurant, announced today the opening of its newest company-owned location in Brooksville, Florida. Located at 849 South Broad Street in a former Taco Bell, the Brooksville Captain D’s is the second Hernando County location to open this summer. In June, the brand converted a former Burger King in Spring Hill.

“Florida has traditionally been a market for Captain D’s, but the response we have received from the Spring Hill community has surpassed our expectations. We could not be happier and look forward to doing the same in Brooksville,” said Brad Reed, chief development officer of Captain D’s. “Captain D’s also has new restaurants already in the pipeline for New Port Richey and Cocoa.”

The new Brooksville restaurant features Captain D’s vibrant, coastal design and welcoming atmosphere, serving high-quality seafood with warm hospitality at an affordable price. With dining room seating for 50, the restaurant also has drive-thru, carry out, and call-ahead ordering options. The site was previously a Taco Bell, showcasing Captain D’s successful real estate strategy of converting former restaurant spaces.

Captain D’s in Brooksville is open 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.
