Captain D's is converting a former Jack in the Box restaurant to a franchised location in Gun Barrel City, Texas. Located at 1380 W. Main St., the restaurant marks the brand's 19th Texas location and third for Franchisee Sajib Singha of Bonham Foods LLC, which owns eight Dairy Queens, two Golden Chicks, two Papa John's and one Schlotzsky's.

"Since adding Captain D's to my portfolio, I've been consistently blown away by the brand's high level of support and expertise, which has only reinforced my confidence as I set out to achieve my aggressive growth goals," he said in a company press release. "When I came to the team wanting to convert a former Jack in the Box into my newest location in Gun Barrel City, they jumped right in and made the entire process seamless from start to finish.

"With my first two restaurants in Bonham and Mount Pleasant performing exceptionally well, there's no doubt that Texas is an ideal market for Captain D's, and we look forward to our continued growth and success with the brand for many years to come."

Captain D's, which has opened Texas locations in Burnet, Stephenville, Plano, Garland and Houston, will expand its Texas footprint by opening 14 restaurants throughout the greater Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth areas over the next several years.

"Texas has remained a priority development market for us knowing the positive performance our existing locations have had and seeing firsthand how well our brand resonates among residents and visitors alike," Brad Reed, Captain D's chief development officer, said in the release. "Building off the momentum we've achieved in recent years, we'll continue to grow our presence throughout the state with experienced and knowledgeable franchisees like Sajib who have a keen understanding of their trade areas and the needs of their communities. Sajib has been fundamental to our ongoing success in North Texas and we are thrilled to be opening another restaurant with him in such a short span of time."

Captain D's has more than 540 restaurants in 23 states.
