Captain D’s nets South Florida and more of North Carolina

Captain D’s, has signed franchise development agreements which will enable the fast casual seafood restaurant to expand in the Southeast, and establish a presence in South Florida.

The franchise for South Florida is Josh Royal, president of Harborside Holdings Corporation. Royal will open three new locations, in Belle Glade, Riviera Beach and Lehigh Acres.

Josh Royal said, “Captain D’s unparalleled support system and outstanding corporate team made it the obvious choice for us when we decided it was time to diversify our portfolio. Much of the brand’s growth over the past several years has been fuelled by existing franchisees, which speaks volumes to how the company goes above and beyond to ensure their operators succeed. South Florida is a booming market with unlimited potential for success, and we look forward to bringing the Captain D’s brand to this thriving community.”

NFL retiree Donnell Thompson will introduce the chain in Fayetteville, North Carolina in late 2019. Thompson said, “Through my experience as a Denny’s franchise owner, I’ve learned that serving affordable, high-quality products in a warm and welcoming environment is the key to keeping customers coming back for more.

When I was introduced to the Captain D’s brand, it was immediately apparent that the company shared my commitment to guest-centric values, and I knew it was the perfect fit. I’m excited to add one of the strongest fast casual concepts today to my portfolio and help grow Captain D’s presence in North Carolina.”
