Zaxby's owners Jon and Michael Windham and Jim Glenfield will open the doors Monday to Peachtree City's newest Zaxby's on 201 Worth Court at Ga. Highway 54. Zaxby's, a Southeast favorite for chicken fingers and Buffalo wings, will offer a quick-casual dining experience and operate from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

Jon says they are confident the prepared-at-order fare and relaxed atmosphere will perform well in Peachtree City.

"We are so happy to be a part of this community and look forward to introducing Zaxby's unique blend of quality food and exceptional service to area residents," he said. "We also look forward to getting involved in the community as both a good neighbor and business partner."

The new restaurant is Zaxby's newest design, featuring a bright, open interior décor, complemented by vintage memorabilia and signage. The nearly 3,500-square-foot restaurant will provide comfortable booths and tables with a seating capacity of 90. The management team has hired more than 60 new employees to staff the restaurant.

An alternative to fast food, Zaxby's offers fresh, never-frozen, prepared-to-order chicken wings, Fingerz, Nuggetz and Zalads. The menu offers innovative Zappetizers - Onion Peel, Tater Chips (home-style potato chips) and made-from-scratch Spicy Fried Mushrooms.

"We'll provide fresh, high-quality meals that are a step above fast food," said Glenfield, who will also serve as general manager. "In addition to individual meals, we also offer a variety of party platters ideal for events at work, home and even tailgating - made especially convenient through our phone-in order service."

Michael believes the restaurant - from the atmosphere to the service - will exceed community expectations. "We've assembled a great team of associates who, we are confident, will deliver on the Zaxby's mission to 'consi tently create encore experiences that enrich lives one person at a time,'" he said.
