A popular chicken chain is opening its first Arizona location at the Queen Creek Vineyard Towne Center on Wednesday.

Customers will be able to get their hands on Zaxbys chicken starting at 10 a.m. at 37756 N. Gantzel Road. The official grand-opening celebration is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 19.

The first 100 guests at the grand opening will win free Zaxbys for six months. There will also be music, a 360-degree photo booth, a prize wheel, giveaways and more.

The Zaxbys franchise is locally owned and operated by Brian and Jessica Nelson.

At 3,000 square feet, the Zaxbys is equipped with 56 seats for dine-in guests, as well as a dual drive-thru and curbside pickup door.  The new restaurant is expected to provide up to 70 jobs.

“We are thrilled to introduce Zaxbys to Arizona,” said Brian Nelson stated in a press release. “While we may represent a trusted national brand with craveable, high-quality chicken and sauces, we are truly just regular people, determined to bring smiles to our guest’s faces and help create meaningful lasting memories with our food and hospitality at the center.”

The Nelsons are working to open additional Zaxbys locations in the Valley in the coming years. To help build this first location, they contracted local contractor Marsh Development Inc.

“Following the tremendous success of our Las Vegas opening, we’re proud to announce Zaxbys newest location,” Sharlene Smith, chief operating officer at Zaxbys, stated in the release. “Thanks to the dedication of our franchise partners, Brian and Jessica Nelson, we’re accelerating our growth out West and continuing to introduce the Zaxbys famous Fingerz and signature sauces to new fans across the country.”
