The quick-serve chain which is best known for its chicken fingers and wings will soon open its first stores in Maryland.
Franchise co-owners Curtis and Teresa Snyder, along with Teresa’s father, Thomas Mitchell, have signed a territory agreement to open three locations along Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The first Zaxbys in Maryland is slated to open in Cambridge in late 2025, with additional locations in Easton and West Ocean City/Berlin to follow.
“We are thrilled to expand Zaxbys into Maryland with Curtis, Teresa and Thomas leading the charge,” said Mike Mettler, Zaxbys’ Chief Development Officer. “Their commitment to their community and dedication to delivering a high-quality experience for customers perfectly aligns with Zaxbys values. We look forward to seeing them grow the brand on the Eastern Shore.”
The first Maryland Zaxbys location will be built near a Walmart in Cambridge, with a modern farmhouse design. Another location is planned near a new hospital development in Easton and the third will be located in the West Ocean City/Berlin area. In the long term, the family says they aim to expand further into Maryland, with potential plans for future locations in Salisbury.
