Seafood chain to open 10 new locations

Captain D’s, which introduced fast-casual seafood to Tennessee nearly 50 years ago, continues to expand at a quick pace.



The Nashville-based chain announced this week that four new locations are planned for the Mobile-Pensacola market in the next five years and five new stores are planned for San Antonio. It added that a new franchisee will open a location in the Jackson, Tennessee, market this year, with more to follow.



Last month the chain opened its second location in Baton Rouge, a company-owned store.



With 521 restaurants in 21 states, Captain D's claims that it is the fast-casual seafood leader and top U.S. seafood franchise by average unit volume. It came in at No. 79 on Restaurant Business’s most recent listing of the top 500 quick-service restaurant chains.



Captain D's is in the process of making over its restaurants with a new beach design and reports being nearly 60% complete.
