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

WAKE FOREST, N.C. (August 12, 2013) - Licensees Thomas Little, Jim Farmer, Archie Crenshaw and Steve Howard will open the doors to Wake Forest’s first Zaxby’s restaurant. The new restaurant is located at 995 Durham Road, near Target. A Southeast favorite for chicken fingers and wings, Zaxby’s will operate Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“We’ve always wanted to bring a Zaxby’s to Wake Forest,” said Little, who owns multiple locations throughout North Carolina. “Zaxby’s has built its reputation and loyal following by providing excellent service and great-tasting food, and we plan to carry on that tradition with this new, convenient location.”

The new 3,850-square-foot location will seat 90 in Zaxby’s unique design - floor-to-ceiling brick walls, modernized tables and booths, all complemented by an eclectic mix of photography. Zaxby’s also offers drive-thru services to meet the needs of customers on the go.

Little, and his partners, believe 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 Little.
The new location will be the eighth for Wake County, and the 66th for the Tar Heel State.

Zaxby’s currently operates more than 580 locations in 13 states - Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, 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 Traditional or Boneless 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 a new line of premium milkshakes including the popular Birthday Cake and Banana Pudding Milkshakes and the new Chocolate Cookie Milkshake. They are rich and creamy, hand-blended, and are topped with whipped cream.
