Captain D's Seafood Restaurants to Break Ground for First of up to Three Units in Detroit
|
 |
Paul Hubbard, Wade Briggs Are Franchisees |
Captain D's LLC, the 35-year-old pioneer in the seafood restaurant fast- casual category, will break ground 10:30 am, Tuesday, April 25th for what could be up to three new restaurants in Detroit. Detroit area civic and business dignitaries are expected to participate in the ceremony at the 10711 Seven Mile Road (near Myers) location, which is being hosted by Detroit business, and civic leader Paul Hubbard and former radio personality Wade (Butterball Jr.) Briggs.
The 2,400 square feet restaurant marks the first of three restaurants that Hubbard and Briggs plan to open in Detroit. The Seven Mile and Myers location is expected to open in midsummer.
According to Mike Pearce, Captain D's vice president of franchise development at Captain D's, his company projects Detroit to accommodate a total of 60 restaurants.
Alpha Restaurants, LLC, will hire about 25 persons for their first restaurant and Mel Garrett, a 25-year McDonald's franchisee and executive, will manage the new Captain D's.
Hubbard and Briggs have both been active in civic organizations, business and Detroit media. Hubbard is the former president of New Detroit. He most recently has served in Toledo where he was a community builder for the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development and in economic and neighborhood development for the Mayor of Toledo. Briggs has been involved in a number of local businesses following a career in local radio and cable television.
Captain D's offers consumers sit-down, carryout and drive-through service and a menu of its famous signature fried fish, seafood, chicken and side dishes.
Headquartered in Nashville, Captain D's, LLC opened its first restaurant in Donelson, Tenn. as Mr. D's and the company later changed its name to Captain D's Inc., and then Captain D's LLC. There are nearly 600 Captain D's in 26 United States and military bases around the world. The parent company for Captain D's, Sagittarius Brands, recently completed the purchase of Del Taco, this country's second largest Mexican chain.
