Captain D’s expands Mississippi footprint

October 15, 2018

Captain D's has opened its newest franchise location in Mississippi with a new store in Grenada. The location marks its 29th in the state, according to a press release.

The Grenada store, at 1208 Sunset Dr., is owned and operated by franchisees Chris and Keith McBrayer and marks the couple's second Captain D's. The brand expects to open a slew of additional stores across Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee by year's end.

"One of the most vital elements of the compounding growth and success Captain D's has achieved over the past few years has been the continued investment of our existing franchisees," said Brad Reed, chief development officer at Captain D's, in the release. "These franchisees continuously push the brand to new heights and their loyalty makes us equally invested in their success. From designing new prototypes that ease operations to offering royalty incentives that drive profitability, we make sure our franchisees have every opportunity to thrive."
 
In 2014, the McBrayers signed a development deal for three Captain D's restaurants and opened their first location in their hometown of West Point.

"Captain D's is more than just a restaurant," said Keith McBrayer in the release. "It's a place where friends and family can connect over a great meal and make memories, just like Chris and I did with our dad when we were growing up. We're proud to honor his legacy by introducing more Mississippi communities to the signature Captain D's experience and showing our guests each and every day why it was dad's favorite restaurant."

Captain D's has 530 restaurants in 22 states.
