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

DECATUR, Ala. - April 16, 2014 - Licensees Ben Williams and Bill McGeary will open the doors to Decatur's second Zaxby's restaurant this Monday. The new restaurant is located at 410 Grant St., SE, on the corner of 6th Avenue. A Southeast favorite for chicken fingers and wings, the new location will operate from
10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

"We've always wanted to bring a Zaxby's to this new area of Decatur," said Williams, who, with his partner, owns the current Decatur location. "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 2,788-square-foot location will seat 54 in Zaxby's unique design - a bright, open interior décor complemented by custom vintage prints and local memorabilia. Zaxby's also offers drive-thru services to meet the needs of customers on the go.

McGeary 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 McGeary.

The new location will be the second for Morgan County and the 70th for the Yellowhammer State. Zaxby's currently operates more than 605 locations in 15 states - Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah 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.

Decatur Zaxby's guests can also enjoy the Coca-Cola Company's proprietary drink fountain, Coca-Cola Freestyle. ® The sleek, stylish fountain is touch screen operated, enabling guests to select from more than 100 regular and low-calorie brands – including many varieties of waters, sports drinks, lemonades and sparkling beverages that, prior to the arrival of Coca-Cola Freestyle®, were not available in the U.S.

Zaxby's also offers four salads, or Zalads: The House, The Blue, The Caesar and its newest addition, The Cobb. 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.
