Captain D's celebrated the Monday grand opening of its newest restaurant, at 415 Columbia Ave. in Lexington, South Carolina. Members of the Greater Lexington County Chamber of Commerce & Visitor's Center, as well as other officials of the Town of Lexington were in attendance. This opening marks the brand's 27th location in the state and the eighth location for the franchisee, according to a company press release.

The new restaurant is owned and operated by longtime Captain D's franchisee CD Midland's Inc, which is owned by Glenn Woodrum, Steve Cochran, Linda Haynes and John Woodrum, who have been with the brand since 1986 and currently own seven locations in South Carolina. Barrett Skarl is the director of operations for CD Midland's Inc and is a resident of Lexington County.

"Glenn, Linda, John & I are incredibly proud to be part of the Captain D's family and have enjoyed growing with the brand over the last 30 years," said Cochran, Captain D's franchisee. "This is our first restaurant in Lexington County and we plan to build two more locations within the next 2-3 years, and we're thrilled to introduce Captain D's fresh seafood and new restaurant design to the Lexington community. The Town of Lexington has been wonderful to work with, and we cannot thank all of the officials, council, and employees for all that they have done to make us feel welcome to the community."

Captain D's is currently seeking single- and multi-unit operators to join in the brand's expansion. For more information about franchise opportunities, visit http://www.captaindsfranchising.com or call 800-550-4877.
