Captain D’s restaurant franchise makes the news—again! Ranked in Top 200 Restaurant Brands by Nation’s Restaurant News.

Captain D's beverage

Captain D’s, the leading seafood franchise, was ranked #87 on NRN’s Top 200 list and was the only seafood concept that made it in the Top 100. Rankings are based on U.S. system-wide sales.

It’s been a big year for Captain D’s restaurant franchise, winning multiple awards and growing to more than 530 restaurants in 22 states.

One factor in our impressive growth may be that Captain D’s, always an innovator, has redesigned a smaller footprint for its restaurants to make securing real estate easier. The new design scales down the building site from 2,800 sq. ft. on 1 acre to 1,950 sq. ft. on ¾ of an acre. The redesign decreases the build-out costs by a whopping 25%.

Larry Jones, Vice President of Construction for Captain D’s, lays out the benefits.

“Our new prototype improves the unit economics, lowers the investment cost, and lowers the ongoing cost of operating the building. It’s a win-win.”

Another win-win is the fact that over 50% of Captain D’s seafood restaurants are corporately owned. With more skin in the game from proven restaurateurs, Franchise Owners know that menu innovations, processes, and equipment have already been vetted out at the corporate locations.

With so much going for us, put Captain D’s franchise at the top of your list.  Complete the form to learn more.

**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;

† 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.
