Zaxby's Opens Its First Restaurant In Chester, Virginia

Zaxby's is expanding its Virginia footprint with the opening of its first restaurant in Chester, Virginia located at 2520 W. Hundred Rd. The new Zaxby's is owned and operated by 1st and Goal Chester, LLC and will open for drive-thru and dine-in on Monday, July 25.

"We look forward to welcoming existing and new fans of Zaxby’s to our newly redesigned building with several innovative features to improve the overall dining experience for our guests," said Travis Kelley, president at 1st and Goal Chester, LLC. “The look and feel of the new Chester store is different than any other Zaxby’s in the area.”

The farmhouse-style restaurant will have indoor seating available for 56 guests and features seating for an additional 16 guests on its spacious exterior patio. Customers will experience expedited drive-thru service with a new, double drive-thru layout for faster pay and pickup. To improve access, the restaurant added an entrance at both the front of the building off W. Hundred Rd., as well as in the rear off Southland Drive.

An alternative to fast food, Zaxby's serves fresh, prepared-at-order Chicken Fingerz and wings tossed in a variety of nine sauces. The menu also features the Signature Club Sandwich, the brand's iconic Fried Pickles and the newly introduced Zensible Zalads.

Brand "fanz" may order the Zensible Zalads limited-time offer online or in the Zaxby's app.

1st and Goal Chester, LLC is a Zaxby's franchisee headquartered in Cary, North Carolina that owns and operates six Zaxby's restaurants of which three are located in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

"We are extremely excited to be able to open this new location and provide new employment opportunities to the Chester community," Kelley added.

Zaxbys is a fast-growing QSR brand specializing in the highest quality chicken and sides. Established in 1990 in Statesboro, Georgia, the company pioneered the concept of serving chicken tenders as an entrée, a novel idea at the time.
