Zaxby's is a franchised chain of fast casual restaurants that operates primarily in the Southeastern United States. [ [http://www.zaxbys.com/locations.html Zaxby's Locations] Acquired 26-5-06] In this chain there are about 450 locations. [ [http://www.zaxbysfranchising.com/ Zaxby's Franchising Home Page.] Acquired 26-5-06] The first Zaxby's was opened in Statesboro, Georgia, near the Georgia Southern University campus, by Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley. Its menu is built around buffalo wings and chicken fingers, including them on platters, in sandwiches, and on salads (called Zalads on their menu). [ [http://www.zaxbys.com/zappetizers.html Zaxby's Menu] Acquired 26-5-06] Although not the first restaurant to largely center on chicken fingers (this was first done by an Alabama chain known as Guthrie's, which started in 1978), Zaxby's is also well known for its wide variety of unique dipping sauces such as the original Zax Sauce. Zaxby's serves soft drinks in the Coca-Cola family. The dining rooms at Zaxby's restaurants are decorated with assorted whimsical objects and posters, which often vary in theme by location and which occasionally are regionally aware. For instance, at one location in Gainesville, Florida, objects related to the University of Florida Florida Gators are used as decorations, while at the Tallahassee, Florida location, objects related to the Florida State University Seminoles are used. Similarly, at the Orlando, Florida location, citrus-industry themed decorations line the walls.Zaxby's are located in all of the southern states except for Louisiana, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. The company has a recently opened locations in Columbus, Ohio, and in the state of Texas.
