New Restaurant to Provide Residents Prepared-at-Order Chicken in a Casual Dining Atmosphere

DALTON, Ga. (Jan. 4, 2012) — Licensees Andy Brady, Tracy Perry and Vergil Tudor will open the doors to Dalton’s third Zaxby’s restaurant this Monday. The new restaurant is located at 872 College Drive, next to the Dalton-Whitfield Chamber of Commerce. A Southeast favorite for chicken fingers and Buffalo wings, Zaxby’s will operate from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

“Dalton residents have shown great support for the brand, and we see this area as an opportunity to expand the business,” said Brady, who owns six existing Georgia Zaxby’s locations — two in Dalton, and one each in Chatsworth, Dawsonville, Griffin and Jefferson. “We’ve built our reputation and loyal following in this community by providing excellent service and great-tasting food, and we plan to carry on that tradition with this new, convenient location.”

The new 3,500-square-foot location will seat 75 in Zaxby’s unique design — a bright, open interior décor complemented by custom vintage prints and school memorabilia. Zaxby’s will also offer drive-thru services to meet the needs of customers on the go.

Monica Steel will serve as the new restaurant’s district manager. She believes the restaurant — from the atmosphere to the service — will exceed community expectations. “We’ve assembled a great group of team members who will deliver on the Zaxby’s mission to ‘consistently create encore experiences that enrich lives one person at a time,’” said Steel.

The new location will be the third for Whitfield County and the 196th for the Peach State. Zaxby’s currently operates more than 535 locations in 12 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

An alternative to fast food, Zaxby’s offers prepared-at-order chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches and salads. Zaxby’s most popular items are its hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz and Jumbo Buffalo Wings, smothered in a choice of nine sauces with names like Wimpy, Tongue Torch, Nuclear and Insane. The menu also offers innovative Zappetizers like Tater Chips, Spicy Fried Mushrooms and Fried White Cheddar Bites, as well as a variety of Party Platterz perfect for any family gathering or special occasion.

Zaxby’s also offers three salads, or Zalads: The House, The Blue and The Caesar. All of Zaxby’s Zalads offer more chicken, unique ingredients, such as French-fried onions, fresh veggies and juicy tomatoes and are larger than most salads offered elsewhere. Each is prepared with chicken, three kinds of lettuce and a variety of toppings. Zalads are assembled at the time the order is placed, versus being pre-made and stored in a cooler.

Additionally, Zaxby’s offers Milkshakes at participating locations, which come in chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavors. They are rich and creamy, hand-blended, and are topped with whipped cream.
