Captain D's expanding Florida presence with Orlando opening

January 14, 2019

Captain D's is opening of its latest franchised location in Orlando, Florida, marking its 28th unit in the state. Located at 5850 S. Orange Blossom Trail, the restaurant comes on the heels of more than a dozen openings and 10 development agreements signed in 2018, according to a company press release.  

"Since signing my franchise agreement with Captain D's in 2016, the excitement around the greater Orlando area has continued to grow," said franchisee Amin Gulamali, who owns various Choice Hotels and convenience stores throughout the greater Orlando area. "Captain D's innovative menu items and welcoming dining experience are in high demand and I'm thrilled to be entering the restaurant industry with a concept that is loved by so many." 
 
Coupled with its ongoing menu innovation, Captain D's credits its restaurant beach redesign with contributing to the brand's ongoing strong performance. To date, nearly 80 percent of the restaurants have the updated coastal design. 
 
The brand has more than 530 restaurants in 22 states
