Zaxby’s Coming Soon to Chapel Hill

"Zaxby's fast-casual restaurant coming to 127 E Franklin St in Chapel Hill, near UNC campus, opening Q1 2025."

An exciting addition is coming to Chapel Hill’s vibrant Franklin Street!

We’ve successfully secured a tenant for the 2,140-square-foot space at 127 East Franklin Street. Zaxby’s, the popular fast-casual restaurant chain, will be opening one of its rare inline stores in this prime location, just steps away from UNC’s campus.

This strategic move capitalizes on the high student foot traffic in the area, making it an ideal spot for Zaxby’s to serve the Chapel Hill community and Tar Heel students. Construction is set to begin in late January, with an anticipated opening in Q1 2025.

The York team is already plotting our “quality control mission” to ensure the Chicken Fingerz™ meet our high standards – purely in the name of professional diligence, of course.

York-broker James Troxler is proud to have represented the landlord in this exciting deal, working collaboratively with Ross Robison who represented Zaxby’s Corporate.
