Zaxbys to Debut in New Jersey with Plans for First Six Locations

originally published: 10/23/2024

(ATLANTA, GA) /PRNewswire/ -- Zaxbys(TM), the rapidly expanding Georgia-based QSR franchise famous for its craveable Chicken Fingerz(TM), wings and signature sauces, is excited to announce its first-ever venture into New Jersey. The first two locations, set to open in South Jersey in the summer of 2025, mark the beginning of a major expansion into the Garden State. This ambitious move is being made by the GSP Group, led by Premanand Gupta, a longtime New Jersey resident.

Currently, the GSP Group has signed on to open six Zaxbys locations across South, Central, and North Jersey, with plans to open more in the future. Their first location, just north of Philadelphia, represents the first step in their strategy to bring Zaxbys to the entire state of New Jersey.

"We started looking into Zaxbys about a year ago," said Premanand Gupta, co-owner of GSP Group. "We have always been interested in the growing chicken market, and Zaxbys stood out with its exceptional product and strong business model. We're confident that it will quickly become a local favorite."

Gupta and his associates have extensive business experience, including independent entrepreneurial ventures and other quick-service restaurant brands such as Dunkin' and Subway. They are confident in their ability to grow the Zaxbys brand across the state.

Mike Mettler, Chief Development Officer at Zaxbys, expressed his excitement for this new partnership.
