Zaxby’s Sets Opening Date for First Pendleton Location

Zaxby's® is opening its first restaurant in Pendleton, South Carolina at 7545 Highway US-76. The new Zaxby's is owned and operated by Fowl Play SC, LLC and will open for drive-thru and dine-in on Monday, July 31.

“We’re excited to add to our footprint in Anderson County and serve the growing community of Pendleton,” said Mike Schneidereit, president of Fowl Play SC, LLC. “Our innovative building design shows our commitment to an enhanced and quick drive thru experience, while offering guests an enjoyable dining room atmosphere.”

The restaurant will feature Zaxby’s farmhouse-style design with a white exterior and a double drive-thru layout for faster pay and pickup. Inside the restaurant, indoor seating is available for up to 54 guests including upgrades for better customer experiences with a new PAR POS system offering a more seamless service.

An alternative to fast food, Zaxby's serves fresh, prepared-at-order Chicken Fingerz and wings tossed in a variety of bold and spicy sauces. The menu features the brand’s famous Signature Sandwich, its Fried Pickles and the Loaded Fries. Recently, Zaxby’s brought back its Southwest Zalad® and introduced Funnel Cakes with powdered sugar and caramel sauce to its menu. Both are available for a limited time only, while supplies last.

Schneidereit, together with his partner Ben Williams, own three additional Zaxby’s restaurants in nearby Anderson, South Carolina. The new location will be the franchise’s first in Pendleton.

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.
