Zaxby’s is a chain of fast-casual restaurants offering chicken wings, chicken fingers, sandwiches and salads. Most of Zaxby’s locations are concentrated in the Southeast.
Founded in 1990 by Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley in Georgia, many Zaxby’s units are decorated with items and art unique to the store’s location.
Zaxby’s also offers a catering service and hosts football game tailgates via food trucks at multiple colleges in the southern U.S. In 2020, Goldman Sachs acquired a significant stake in Zaxby’s, buying out co-founder Tony Towley. McLeroy moved to the role of chairman in January 2022 and Bernard Acoca came on as CEO.
