## Story

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Captain D’s continues growth in Georgia with the debut of its newest franchised location in Savannah. The new Captain D’s is in a space formerly occupied by Bojangles. This is the 12th Georgia location for Chris Benner and Tim Stokes of Trident Holdings, LLC, who are Captain D’s largest franchisees with the brand’s restaurants.

“When we acquired the nearby Pooler, Georgia, location in 2020, we set our sights on bringing Captain D’s back to Savannah. “Our quality team of over 40 local employees and managers can’t wait to welcome in the community with speedy service, gracious hospitality and, of course, delicious seafood,” said Benner.

It's important to Benner and Stokes to give back while also celebrating this grand opening with the community and restaurant team. To do that, they are hosting a fundraiser for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization that provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and builds specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. Captain D’s in Savannah will match all donations made by customers April 26-30.

Located at 29 West Derenne Avenue, the new Savannah 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 48, the restaurant also has carry-out and call-ahead ordering options, as well as a drive-thru equipped with state-of-the-art technology for efficiency and speed. 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...
