About This Video
In this Captain D's franchisee video, the McBrayer family — multi-unit operators in West Point, Mississippi — share the story behind their Captain D's investment, from civic-minded local roots to a record-setting opening week. The McBrayers describe themselves as deeply tied to West Point. One brother sits on the city board in his third term as vice mayor and is running for Justice Court judge in Clay County. Their stake in the community isn't just financial — it's where their families live and where they want their kids to be able to live and work in fifteen years. That outlook shapes how they evaluate businesses to bring to town. The opening itself was a community event. A simple "Coming Soon: Captain D's, West Point Mississippi" sign on the property started the buzz. By opening day, residents were pouring in. The result: the West Point store set the company record for first-week sales since the chain opened in 1969, and one customer told local press she'd already been six times. A McBrayer family member compares the impact to what Walmart did when it first arrived in town — a small-market opening that punches well above the population numbers. The family theme runs throughout the video. The brothers credit their late father with insisting they stay close, work together, and resolve disagreements on the spot — and with pushing them into the Captain D's project specifically because he wanted his sons to have something that would keep them together. He saw the store open and called himself the most blessed man in West Point before he passed. Their plans are equally direct: a signed development agreement for three stores total, with the foundation already laid for the next generation of McBrayers to inherit and expand.
