One Of Captain D's Largest Franchisees Opens New Location

Chris Benner and Trident Holdings, LLC have become an all-star franchise operator within the Captain D’s system by growing to 45 locations since first signing on with the brand in 2015. The franchisee is on the grow once again with its newest location in Elberton, Georgia in a former Bojangles property.

“Captain D’s has proven time and again to be the authority in real estate conversions. Their team’s support and training has made the conversion process painless and efficient, and this has remained consistent since we began franchising with the brand,” said Benner. “We are thrilled with this opportunity to bring Captain D’s to the Elberton community and look forward to opening additional locations we have planned this year in Kentucky and Alabama.”

Benner and his partners Tim and Ed Stokes have led Trident Holdings to quickly become one of the largest Captain D’s franchisees. Their new Georgia restaurant comes on the heels of their most recent opening in Pensacola, Florida. Most of Trident Holding’s stores are located throughout the Southeast, where the brand has a strong following.
