## Story

Shawn Eby has built a multi-brand franchise empire that includes Church's Chicken, Dairy Queen, Dog Haus, and Captain D's locations across the Southeast and Midwest. The CEO of Goalz Restaurant Group, LLC has just opened his third Captain D's location, this time in Lancaster, South Carolina. "Opening our first two Captain D's restaurants last year, the brand has proven to be the perfect complement to our growing portfolio of foodservice brands, and in the midst of these uncertain times, has continued to be an outstanding franchisor by providing us with exceptional support and guidance," said Eby.

"Following our successful first year with Captain D's, we're looking forward to growing even further with our newest South Carolina location and continuing to leverage the brand's well-known reputation for quality seafood throughout the region." As has become common practice during Covid-19, his new restaurant offers drive-thru and call ahead ordering with contactless curbside pick-up only. The dining room will remain closed for the immediate future to help with the safety of guests and team members.

Captain D's was founded in 1969. The Nashville, Tennessee-based fast-casual seafood brand has more than 530 restaurants in 22 states.
