Captain D’s enters European market with first UK store
It will also open in Sussex and Hampshire soon after.
Captain D's has partnered with CD's Holdings to bring Captain D's signature seafood offerings to the UK and other European countries.
A recent 20-unit master franchise agreement for the United Kingdom—Captain D's first venture into Europe—is set to open its first location in Kent in August 2025.
Restaurants will also open in Sussex and Hampshire soon after.
"There is a large fish and chips market in the UK, but no one has tried to apply discipline, standards, and quality to such a level here before,” said Naveed Chattha, operations director of CDs Holdings. “With our experience, we feel Captain D's is the right choice."
With more than 530 restaurants in 23 states, the company is currently seeking master franchisees and multi-unit operators to join in the brand's international expansion, with a focus on Canada, Central and Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia.
