Zaxby’s is an American chain of fast-casual restaurants that serves Chicken Wings, Chicken Fingers, Sandwiches, and Salads. The chain operates primarily in the southern United States and has over 900 locations. The majority of Zaxby’s restaurants are owned by franchisees, but 123 locations are owned by the Zaxby company.

What is Zaxbys?

Zaxby’s is one such restaurant that caters to the creative people in the city. The job conditions for Zaxbys employees are good, with many wanting to start their own business and use their creativity to create great food. Zaxbees aims to provide an opportunity for its employees to share their ideas, learn about food production and connect with customers.

Menu and themes

The company operates as a casual dining restaurant, offering Chicken Fingers, Chicken Wings, Sandwiches, Salads and Appetizers prepared on order. Dipping sauces are offered with chicken finger orders, and range from mild to medium “Zacs Sauce”, overly hot “nuclear” and “crazy”. The dining rooms at Zaxby’s restaurant are decorated with assorted whimsical objects and signs, which often vary in theme by location and region. Some locations in college towns feature objects and decorations related to the local university. Similarly, citrus-industry-themed decor lines the walls at a location in Orlando, Florida.

Since the December 2013 announcement that Zaxby will begin offering the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine at its locations, decorations in the fountain beverage delivery area have been dominated by that specific dispenser and other Coca-Cola branding.

Why is it called Zaxby’s?

“The idea arose out of necessity,” said McElroy, a university alumnus. “In the early ’90s, no one really focused on chicken fingers as an entrée.” That simple idea led to the development of a chicken restaurant called Zacks, and from Zacks grew the chicken-peddling giant Zaxby, which is now in its 20th year of business.

Is Zaxby’s chicken healthy?

Eat This, Not That! reports that Zaxby’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich contains 530 calories, 22 grams of fat and 1,510 milligrams of sodium. While it’s one of the low-calorie items on the menu, that doesn’t mean it’s great for you.

How popular is Zaxby’s?

Zaxby’s is ranked 111th overall, but ranks higher in the restaurant category than its competitors, beating Chick-fil-A (133), Rising Can’s Chicken Fingers (251), and Wendy’s (483). Now it’s about the crows!

Sponsorships

Zaxby’s is the “official chicken of Sports Fanz®” and has collective intellectual property rights in approximately 30 Division I colleges as of 2015 through a deal with the football and basketball teams. The sponsorship, which was created through IMG College, covers the entire territory of 25 states, seven conventions and Zaxby’s locations. Includes ten colleges from the Southeast Conference, six colleges from the Atlantic Coast Conference, three colleges from Conference USA, two each from the Big Ten Conference and Sun Belt Conference, and one college from the Big 12 Conference. Additionally, Zaxby has a separate agreement with Clemson University to provide a brand presence in all football and men’s and women’s basketball games.

Jaxby was also the sponsor of the Heart of Dallas Bowl, played at the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium.

Joey Clanton was the sponsor of the number 09 JTG Daugherty racing truck at Zaxby’s NCWTS. Zaxby also sponsored John Wes Townley (son of co-founder Tony) and Townley’s Athenian Motorsports in NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series and Xfinity Series. John Weiss retired from the competition after 2016, thus ending the sponsorship.

In honor of the children the restaurant chain serves each year, Zaxby’s is a proponent of Make-A-Wish.
