Popular Chicken Chain Zaxby’s Opening First South Jersey Spot in Magnolia

If prepared-at-order chicken fingers, chicken wings, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers are your thing, you will be thrilled about South Jersey's latest restaurant news — Zaxby’s is coming to Magnolia, NJ.

While there are plenty of options for fried chicken sandwiches, a new fast-casual chain is about to enter the area.

Some people like Popeye’s. Others prefer Chick-fil-A or Royal Farms. One thing is certain: South Jersey has no shortage of great chicken sandwiches. 

The Georgia-based Zaxby's is set to open its first South Jersey location, after announcing back in October that it was looking to expand to the area.

Zaxby's has been targeting the Philadelphia region and introduced a grilled and fried Chicken Philly Meal Deal.

According to reports, the first Zaxby's location in New Jersey will be at the former Arby's spot, which closed in the fall of 2024, at 804 N White Horse Pike in Magnolia, NJ, but this could lead to more entering the region. 

The target date to open this location is September of 2025.
