Zaxby's To Open In Pinellas Park Sept. 30

PINELLAS PARK, FL --The first Zaxby’s in Pinellas Park is opening this month.

The grand opening will be on Monday, Sept. 30 at 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 7620 Belcher Road. The first 100 guests in line will receive a Zaxby’s Deck of 52 Dealz including menu favorites like free Zappetizers, Wings & Fingerz, sandwiches and desserts. The free Deck of Dealz cards is valid at this Pinellas Park location only during the specified dates.

The new Zaxby’s restaurant will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Known for its chicken fingers, wings and salads, the new fast-casual restaurant will be the fifth location owned and operated by Tony Gunthrop, a longtime Zaxby’s licensee. Construction on the Pinellas Park Zaxby’s started in April.

“We are proud to be a part of this community and have been operating Zaxby’s restaurants for 20 years,” Gunthrop said. “We look forward to bringing another great location where Pinellas Park customers are invited to meet, eat and enjoy time together.”

With indoor seating for 72, the 3,850-square-foot location reflects Zaxby’s commitment to providing an exceptional fast-casual dining experience including a redesigned farmhouse-style exterior, kitchen and dining area with a rustic decor, featuring two proprietary Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.

An alternative to fast food, Zaxby’s serves fresh, prepared-at-order, hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz and Wings made in nine sauces. The menu also features four Zalads and eight sandwiches along with Zappetizers including Tater Chips and Spicy Fried Mushrooms and Party Platterz for large groups.

Zaxby’s is offering its limited-time Zensation Zalad and new Zensation Fillet Sandwich until Oct. 20. The first 100 guests at the Pinellas Park opening will receive Zaxby’s Deck of 52 Dealz including many menu favorites.

“Pinellas Park is vibrant and draws many visitors each year,” Gunthrop said. “We can’t wait to share our delicious chicken in a variety of combinations with residents and visitors while continuing to hold ourselves to the highest standards, develop successful team members and enrich lives.”

This restaurant will provide about 45 jobs in the Pinellas Park community. Those interested in applying for a position can click here.

Gunthrop’s other restaurants are in Largo, Hiram and Kennesaw, Georgia. He has plans to open eight more restaurants in Pinellas County over the next eight years.

Founded by childhood friends Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley in 1990 in Athens, Georgia, Zaxby’s has grown to more than 900 locations in 17 states and is headquartered in Athens, Georgia.
