First Zaxbys in Lafayette Parish Slated to Open in November

9 hours 48 minutes ago by KATC

With construction currently underway, the first Zaxby's restaurant in Lafayette is coming soon to 2813 Verot School Road. A Southeast favorite for chicken fingers and wings, licensees Scott Allen, Wayne Waters and David Allen plan to open the new quick-casual restaurant in November and will celebrate its grand opening by giving away a Fanatic Pack of 52 Free Dealz - meaning a year of free Zaxby's - to the first 100 guests.

The first in Lafayette Parish, the Lafayette restaurant is the third in Louisiana and the first for Allen and his partners. The team is actively looking for sites for an additional four locations in the market, which will create more than 200 new jobs in the area. Zaxby's currently operates more than 645 locations in 15 states - Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

Zaxby's provides chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches, salads and more in a fun, relaxing atmosphere. 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. At the new restaurant, customers will place their orders at the counter and will be called to pick up their prepared-at-order meals when they are ready.

The Lafayette location will feature a new Zaxby's "southern rustic" prototype with a red, rustic exterior and tin roof. Offering seating for 90, the 3,900 square-foot restaurant will include Zaxby's refreshed interior design - floor-to-ceiling brick walls, large windows providing natural light, modernized tables and booths, and custom, vintage prints. Zaxby's also offers drive-thru services to meet the needs of customers on the go. "For the Lafayette location, we are assembling a team consisting of about 50 associates to deliver on our brand's mission to consistently create encore experiences that enrich lives one person at a time," said Allen. "The key to success as a Zaxby's associate is a great smile and a willingness to learn and grow. 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." Candidates interested in employment can visit the new location to apply.
