Captain D's Targets Western Europe for Franchise Expansion After UK Growth
Captain D's announced that Senior Vice President of International Operations and Development Hair Parra will visit Spain, Portugal, and France from June 15 through July 1 to meet with prospective franchise partners interested in developing the brand across Western Europe.
Captain D's will explore franchise growth opportunities in Western Europe following its recent expansion into the United Kingdom through a 20-unit development agreement. During the visit, Parra is scheduled to meet with qualified investors, restaurant operators, multi-unit franchisees, and master franchise candidates in Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia in Spain; Lisbon in Portugal; and Paris, Lyon, and Nice in France.
The company is seeking master franchisees and multi-unit developers capable of supporting approximately 20 restaurants in major metropolitan markets in the targeted countries. Captain D's identified Spain, Portugal, and France as strong seafood-consuming markets and potential locations for further expansion of its fast-casual seafood concept.
Captain D's stated that its UK expansion provides a foundation for broader European growth through shared operational support and regional infrastructure. The targeted countries also offer significant tourism traffic and a market opportunity for a scaled fast-casual seafood concept.
The menu at Captain D's includes Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish from Alaska, grilled seafood offerings, seafood platters, and a variety of made-to-order sides. Prospective franchise partners interested in meetings during the European visit are invited to contact the company's international development team at franchising@captainds.com.
