Zaxby's Restaurant Coming to Wicomico County

Wicomico County, MD - Wicomico County is getting a new restaurant. County Executive Julie Giordano announced that Zaxby's will soon open in the county.

The new location will sit along U.S. Route 13, just before the Fruitland town line. It will give residents and travelers another dining option along one of the county's busiest roads.

Zaxby's started in Georgia in 1990. The chain has grown to hundreds of locations across the country, known for its hand breaded chicken fingers, chicken sandwiches, salads, and dipping sauces.

"This is another great win for Wicomico County and our residents," said County Executive Julie Giordano. "The addition of Zaxby's demonstrates that national brands recognize the strength of our local economy and the tremendous growth opportunities available here. Every new business investment creates jobs, expands consumer choice, and strengthens our tax base. We are excited to welcome Zaxby's to Wicomico County."

This deal is part of the county's push to bring in new businesses. Earlier this year, Giordano and members of Salisbury-Wicomico Economic Development met with national brands at the International Council of Shopping Centers convention.

Zaxby's was one of the companies the county met with at that event. The county said it will keep working with developers and retailers to bring more businesses to the area.

"Wicomico County is open for business," Giordano added. "Our administration remains committed to creating an environment where businesses can succeed, invest, and grow. We look forward to welcoming Zaxby's and continuing to bring new employers, restaurants, and retail opportunities to our community."

No construction timeline or opening date has been announced yet. More details will be released as they become available.
