Captain D's has opened its newest franchised location in Mount Pleasant, Texas, marking the chain's second Texas unit to open this year, following the debut of a restaurant in Bonham in May, according to a press release.

Sajib Singha, a multi-unit franchisee with nearly two decades of experience owning and operating brands like Dairy Queen, Golden Chick and Schlotzsky's, in addition to serving as an operations manager for Yum Brands, is spearheading Captain D's Texas expansion.

"I officially added Captain D's to my portfolio of franchise concepts with the opening of my first location in Bonham this May," Singha said in the release. "Despite opening that restaurant during the thick of the pandemic, it has performed tremendously well and been well-received by the Bonham community, which has only reinforced my confidence as I open my second restaurant in Mount Pleasant."

In compliance with Texas' state and local guidelines for COVID-19 procedures, the Mount Pleasant Captain D's restaurant is open for drive-thru, carry-out and call -head ordering with contactless curbside pick-up only.

The dining room will remain closed for the immediate future to help ensure the safety of guests and team members. Online ordering and third-party delivery will be available at a later date. Additionally, Captain D's has enhanced its standard employee food safety protocol to include single-use dining items, sanitation procedures deployed every 30 minutes, the installment of plexiglass barriers between guests and cashiers, employee health screenings, among other measures, according to the release.

With more than 530 restaurants in 23 states, Captain D's is seeking single and multi-unit operators to join in the brand.
