Atlanta — Saucy chicken chain Zaxbys™ opened its first-ever Las Vegas restaurant on April 14. Located at 5290 Blue Diamond Rd., the new Zaxbys is owned and operated by Royce Chow and Jie Zhou of Zax Nevada LLC.
“Las Vegas is just the beginning of Zaxbys expansion plans as we aim to open our 1,000th store in 2025,” says Mike Mettler, chief development officer at Zaxbys. “We are thrilled to continue to build relationships with new franchisee partners and bring Zaxbys to additional growing markets including Arizona, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Maryland and more.”
Zaxbys continues to expand outside of the Southeast. This new market expansion is a part of Zaxbys’ larger growth ambition on a national and regional level to modernize and elevate the brand with the help of its franchisee partners.
Spanning 2,600 square feet, the new Zaxbys is equipped with 50 seats for dine-in guests, as well as a drive-thru for expedited service. The new location’s Modern Farmhouse design features prominent branding with Zaxbys signature colors, logo and sauce medallions, as well as a cohesive brand story showcased through vibrant elements and sauce-inspired art.
Zax Nevada LLC is working to open additional Zaxbys locations in Las Vegas this year. To help build this first location, they worked with local company AJB General Contractor, known for building commercial institutions in Las Vegas for 35 years.
