Captain D’s has signed a 20-unit franchise agreement for the United Kingdom with the first restaurant opening this year in the London area.
This development marks Captain D’s first venture into Europe and its second international development agreement, following the recent announcement of its Canadian expansion in Toronto.
“We are highly enthused to bring our unique brand to the United Kingdom,” Phil Greifeld, CEO of Captain D’s said in a company press release. “Captain D’s will bring our craveable seafood to the guests of the UK. Entering the UK with experienced restaurant operators underscores our commitment to our thoughtful international growth. This is just the beginning of our expansion of Captain D’s quality seafood and hospitality to seafood lovers around the world.”
Hair Parra, SVP of International Operations and Development, said the UK was a key market with immense potential.
“This agreement is a testament to Captain D’s readiness to bring its proven model to the global stage,” Parra said in the release.
The chain has over 530 restaurants.
