The Valley’s first Zaxbys location is expected to open this summer, but the Georgia-based fried chicken chain is already looking to grow its presence across Arizona.

Zaxbys currently has two franchisee groups in the Phoenix area — Brian and Jessica Nelson and Travis DeGoey and Thomas DeGoey — that have started leasing land and building locations.

The first Arizona Zaxbys will be owned and operated by the Nelsons and will be located in Queen Creek.
