History[edit | edit source]

Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley opened the first Zaxby's restaurant in Statesboro, Georgia in 1990. The two friends had been playing basketball and discussing their shared dissatisfaction with the lack of good chicken wing restaurants in the area. This led them to create a business plan for a restaurant that would fill this gap in the market.

The first Zaxby's was a success, and the company began to expand. By 1994, the company had grown to three locations, and the founders decided to start franchising. Today, Zaxby's has over 900 locations in 17 states, primarily in the Southern United States.

In addition to chicken fingers and wings, Zaxby's also offers sandwiches, salads, and sides such as fries, onion rings, and Texas toast. The chain also offers a variety of milkshakes.
