Zaxby's Chicken Fingers and Buffalo Wings was "hatched" when a couple of good friends had one great idea. Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley were hanging out, playing basketball and tossing around an idea. They didn't know much about the restaurant business. But they knew this much: the chicken they could find in Statesboro, Georgia, where they lived, was okay, but not really great. Plus, none of the local chicken places were fun or had any personality. So, as the story goes, they dreamed up Zaxby's right there on the basketball court. The rest, as they say, is chicken history. "The very first Zaxby's opened in 1990 in Statesboro," Grayson McElveen, Zaxby's District Manager noted. "Founder and CEO Zach McLeroy built the concept around indescribably good chicken and the unrivaled flavor of Zax sauce. He built the culture around a desire to enrich the lives of others. Today there are more than 900 locations, nine distinct sauces, countless Z-words, and one signature sandwich." And now, one of those locations has opened in Rogers! That's great news for fans of real, classic southern comfort food. You know the kind: fried chicken and Texas toast and cole slaw. And if you've ever been to Zaxby's Chicken Fingers & Buffalo Wings, you know that they have it down! The Rogers location is the fifth Northwest Arkansas Zaxby's, conveniently located at 4301 S. Pleasant Crossing Blvd. Building on their success in the area, Zaxby's felt they just had to open another location so their fans in Rogers could enjoy that freshly made to order, traditional but never boring, delicious offerings Zaxby's is known for. If you live in Rogers or the surrounding area and have never been, you've got to stop by and check it out. "We are open in Rogers and our team is ready to serve you and your family," Grayson McElveen, Zaxby's District Manager said. "Stop by today for drive- thru service or order ahead using the website or the app. Whether you're driving thru after a hectic day, or catering a special event, we're excited to serve Rogers. And whether you're trying us for the first time or you've been a fan of our flavor for years, you'll always have a seat at our table." Their Signature Sandwich and Signature Club Sandwich are specials that include crispy crinkle fries and a drink. "This fillet is double hand-breaded with our extra crispy breading and dressed with Zax sauce and a pickle," Grayson continued. "Not to be outdone, the Meal Dealz selection includes some of our most popular items – Wings & Things, Big Zax Snak, and the Great 8 Boneless meal are just some great choices on the menu." Those Famous Fingerz & Wingz and the sauces have built quite a following of loyal fans over the years. You can choose between boneless or traditional wings, and delicious Chicken Fingerz.
