"The

key to success at Zaxby's is a great smile and a willingness to learn

and grow," said

Jim Glenfield, who will serve as operating partner. "We're a different

kind of restaurant with a different kind of attitude - from the food

and service we provide to our guests, to the respect we provide to each

other."

Jon,

who moved to Fayetteville three years ago from Conyers, worked in home

healthcare with Mike and Jim prior to opening their Peachtree City Zaxby's.

"We

all really enjoy working in the hospitality business," said Jon. "We've

always loved the taste and concept of Zaxby's and knew it would be a

great opportunity to bring that to Fayette County."

The three partners' first

Zaxby's, located

at 210 Worth Court in Peachtree City, opened in October 2003. "The great

success and the warm response we�ve received at our Peachtree City location

is really what has made expansion possible for us," said Michael. "Fayette

County is a perfect fit for the Zaxby's brand, and we are pleased to

continue our partnership with this community."

Zaxby's success

is rooted in a simple operating philosophy developed by its founders

that has

matured into the

company�s mission statement - consistently create encore experiences

that enrich lives one person at a time. That statement is not only

the driving force behind the company's pursuit to provide fresh, delicious

food and excellent customer service, it's also what helps the company

create a vibrant atmosphere for employees.

Zaxby�s is a pioneer of the quick-casual format, providing services and amenities

that fall somewhere between fast food and a sit-down restaurant. Guests will

place their orders at the counter and receive a �blinking coaster� to let

them know when their prepared-at-order meal is ready. They can then enjoy

their

meal in a seating area of comfortable booths and tables reminiscent of a

casual sit-down

restaurant. Zaxby�s will also offer drive-thru and phone-in services to meet

the needs of customers on the go.

Zaxby�s most popular items are its hand-breaded fresh chicken fingers and

fresh jumbo Buffalo wings, smothered in a choice of eight sauces with names

like

Wimpy, Tongue Torch, Nuclear and Insane. An alternative to fast food, Zaxby�s

offers fresh, prepared-at-order chicken wings, Nuggetz, Fingerz and Zalads.

The menu

offers innovative Zappetizers � Tater Chips (home-style potato chips), Onion

Peel and made-from-scratch Spicy Fried Mushrooms. �We�ve built our reputation

and loyal following on our superior quality food and great tastes,� said

Glenfield. �And

while our focus is on chicken, we�ve found a variety of fun and delicious

ways to serve it � from fingers and wings to sandwiches and salads, there�s

something for everyone.� Zaxby�s is a �quick-casual� restaurant chain headquartered

in Athens, Ga. Zaxby�s opened its first restaurant in Statesboro, Ga., in

May 1990, and by July 2001 opened its 100th location in Jacksonville, Fla.

Zaxby�s, which recently celebrated its 200th store opening in its hometown

of Athens, Ga., has locations throughout eight southeastern states. The Zaxby�s

menu features fresh, made-from-scratch chicken fingers, Buffalo wings, sandwiches

and fresh-made salads.
