April 29, 2019

Captain D's reopened a corporate-owned location Monday in Panama City, Florida, after repairing damages left behind by Hurricane Michael. The hurricane, which hit the unit at 242 Tyndall Parkway in October 2018, was the first Category 5 to strike the contiguous United States since Andrew in 1992, according to a company press release.

"After Hurricane Michael, our corporate team saw first-hand the destruction and devastation left behind in Panama City, Brad Reed, chief development officer, said in the release. "The team did not hesitate to begin our recovery process, similar to many local businesses in the area, and set a goal to get our location back on its feet within six months. It is a phenomenal feeling reopening our location to the public and joining the rebuilt business community of Panama City."

Captain D's has more than 530 restaurants in 22 states and is seeking multi-unit operators to join in the brand's expansion, according to the release.
