MARYLAND (DC News Now) -- Zaxby's, the southern fast-food franchise, is making its way to Maryland's Eastern Shore. The establishment, known for its "chicken fingerz," wings and signature sauces, announced its expansion to the state on Oct. 11. Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley founded the restaurant in 1990 in Statesboro, Ga. Although there are no current locations in Maryland, the eatery is seen throughout Virginia. New pickleball courts open in Silver Spring Franchise co-owners Curtis and Teresa Snyder and Teresa's father, Thomas Mitchell, signed a territory agreement to open three locations along the shore. According to a news release, the first location will open in Cambridge in 2025, with locations in Easton and the West Ocean City/Berlin area to follow. The Cambridge location is slated to have a "modern farmhouse" design. The Snyder-Mitchell family said they envision these locations serving residents and the many travelers who pass through the areas on Route 50. The family also plans to expand further into Maryland, potentially in the Salisbury area. "We've always wanted to bring something special to the Eastern Shore, and Zaxbys is the perfect fit. The quality of the product, combined with the brand's growth strategy, convinced us this was the right move. Maryland residents, along with travelers from Baltimore and D.C. heading to the shore, are going to love it," said Curtis Snyder.
