Captain D’s Makes Entrepreneur Top 200 List

Captain D's franchise

Entrepreneur is the premier source for established and aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide. Their much anticipated, annual list of the top 200 food and restaurant franchises is based on the score each company received when evaluated by Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® formula. Over 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength and financial strength and stability are considered.

We’re thrilled to announce that Captain D’s was ranked #7 in our category on Entrepreneur’s Top 200 List of Food and Restaurant Franchises in 2018. Considering all the research that goes into curating this list, and the enormous number of franchises out there, this acknowledgment means a lot to us as company and to our Franchise Owners. As the nation’s leading fast-casual seafood franchise, we’ve created a model that separates us from the pack. Our casual dining food quality at a QSR price point with a fast-casual customer experience has proven to be a hit with customers.

For a franchise with a rich legacy like ours, we’re always future-focused and thinking of new ways to keep ourselves relevant and successful. So, thank you Entrepreneur for creating this list and doing all the research to further prove that Captain D’s is a top choice for entrepreneurs!

**According to the 2023 FDD, the Development Incentive Program offer depends on the opening date of a restaurant. The royalty fee will equal the following amounts: (1) for restaurants opened at least 60 days prior to the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first six months after the opening date of the restaurant;

(2) for restaurants opened at least 30 days prior to the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first five months after the opening date of the restaurant;
(3) for restaurants opened no more than 90 days after the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first four months after the opening date of the restaurant;
(4) for restaurants opened no more than 150 days after the scheduled opening date, we will not charge a royalty fee for the first three months after the opening date of the restaurant; and
(5) for restaurants opened more than 150 days after the scheduled opening date, we will begin charging a royalty fee on the opening date of the restaurant.

† The average unit volume and EBITDAR amounts are for the top third of company restaurants open at least one full year as of the 2022 fiscal year-end. The company EBITDAR does not include a 4.5% royalty fee paid by franchisees, which would reduce the EBITDAR to $313,492.

This is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy a franchise. The offer of a Captain D’s franchise may take place only through the delivery of a current Captain D’s Franchise Disclosure Document or prospectus.
