Company Background
Zaxby's is a restaurant chain specializing in chicken fingers and wings, as well as salads and sandwich baskets. Zaxby's offers an upscale menu that consists primarily of its signature chicken fingers and buffalo wings, with an assortment of salads and sandwiches to accompany the items on the menu. The restaurants offer a variety of sauces made by Zaxby's specifically for each type of food offered at their establishment. This includes both original-style sauces such as Buffalo Sauce or Sweet Heat Habanero Sauce, as well as other flavors such as Honey BBQ or Garlic Parmesan.
Franchise Opportunity
People love chicken, but they don't always have the time or energy to cook it at home. Who has time to cook a whole chicken? Not many people do, which is why so many of them turn to fast food restaurants for their chicken fix. Zaxby's offers a delicious and healthy alternative to fast food chicken. Our menu items are made fresh using real chicken, and we offer an assortment of unique sauces that will satisfy any craving.

We are a Georgia corporation formed on September 8, 1994. Our principal business address is 1040 Founder’s Boulevard, Suite 100, Athens, Georgia 30606.
