Captain D's continues its growth in Georgia with the debut of a franchise location in Savannah, Georgia, formerly occupied by Bojangles.

Located at 29 West Derenne Ave., the restaurant is the12th Georgia location for Chris Benner and Tim Stokes, of Trident Holdings LLC, who are Captain D's largest franchisees and own 10% of the brand's restaurants.

"We now have 54 Captain D's restaurants across eight Southeastern states and are thrilled to keep growing with this brand's flexible prototypes and real estate conversion opportunities," Benner said in a company press release. "When we acquired the nearby Pooler, Georgia, location in 2020, we set our sights on developing further in this region and bringing Captain D's back to Savannah. Our quality team of over 40 local employees and managers can't wait to welcome in the community with speedy service, gracious hospitality and, of course, delicious seafood."

Captain D's has over 530 restaurants in 23 states.
