An Indescribably Good Franchise Opportunity
Zaxby’s founders Zach McLeroy & Tony Townley looked around their community and saw plenty of fast food or sit-down dining options but felt that something was missing. They decided to provide the freshest chicken fingers and Buffalo wings in town. That hatched a simple idea to create a fun atmosphere where food quality is of the utmost importance. In 1990, they opened the first Zaxby’s in Statesboro, GA. The concept, one of the early “quick casual” restaurants, has proven to be very successful. Out of the 900 + locations, Zach and Tony operate 140 company stores.

Year after year, we've expanded our footprint. In the early days, it was a handful of locations throughout Georgia. We eased into the Atlanta market, then into neighboring states. Little by little, the word got out. By popular demand, Zaxby's restaurants were catching on in communities from the sandy plains of Florida to the Appalachian hills. If history is any indication, the next frontier leads us right across the Mississippi and all the way to the west coast. Assuming we're right, we think there's still time to "get in early" on what we hope will become the next big national restaurant chain. With most of our restaurants still concentrated in the southeast, that leaves a whole lot of unclaimed territory. And one day, we think there will be Zaxby's restaurants across all of it.
