Third Zaxby’s under construction

Published 3:25 pm Monday, October 17, 2011

Construction is under way on Dalton’s third Zaxby’s restaurant. Licensees Andy Brady, Tracy Perry and Vergil Tudor plan to open the new quick-casual restaurant later this fall. Located at 872 College Drive, next to the Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce, the new restaurant will create an additional 50 to 60 jobs for the area.

“Dalton residents have shown great support for the brand, and we see this area as a great opportunity to expand the business,” said Brady, who owns six Georgia Zaxby’s locations — two in Dalton, and one each in Chatsworth, Dawsonville, Griffin and Jefferson. “We’ve built our reputation and loyal following in this community by providing excellent service and great-tasting food, and we plan to carry on that tradition with this new, convenient location.”

The new location will be the third for Whitfield County and the 196th for the Peach State. Zaxby’s currently operates more than 530 locations in 12 states.

The new 3,500 square-foot location will seat 75 in Zaxby’s unique design — a bright, open interior décor complemented by custom vintage prints and school memorabilia. Zaxby’s will also offer drive-thru services to meet the needs of customers on the go.

Monica Steel will serve as the new restaurant’s district manager.

“The key to success at Zaxby’s is a great smile and a willingness to learn and grow,” said Steel. “We’re a different kind of restaurant with a different kind of attitude — from the food and service we provide to our customers to the respect we have for each other.”
