Zaxby's to Open Near Kennestone Hospital

Construction is underway on Marietta’s fifth Zaxby’s restaurant at 1347 Church Street Extension, in front of . 

The new restaurant will create an additional 50 to 60 jobs for the area.

“We’ve always wanted to bring a Zaxby’s to this area of Marietta,” said Licensee Dustin Mullis, who grew up working in the fast-casual restaurant industry. 

Mullis, with partners Greg Shumate, Alex Koutouzis and Gregg Litchfield, plan to open the new quick-casual restaurant later this spring. 

After graduating from Georgia State University and working in banking, Mullis is excited to be back in the chicken business. “We realized that this area is the perfect fit for the family atmosphere Zaxby’s represents. I’m looking forward to providing the same quality food and service that Marietta residents have come to expect from Zaxby’s.”

The new location will be the 13th for Cobb County and the 201st for Georgia. 
The 3,400-square-foot location will seat 90 and will also offer drive-thru services to meet the needs of customers on the go.

“The key to success at Zaxby’s is a great smile and a willingness to learn and grow,” said Mullis. “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.” 

Zaxby’s offers prepared-at-order chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches and salads. Zaxby’s most popular items are its hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz and Jumbo Buffalo Wings with a choice of nine sauces. The menu also offers Zappetizers like Tater Chips, Spicy Fried Mushrooms and Fried White Cheddar Bites, as well as a variety of Party Platterz. Zaxby’s also offers three salads, or Zalads: The House, The Blue and The Caesar.
