Here's another vacant fast food restaurant that failed near Highway 6 and Highway 40 with questionable access, much like the old Bush's Chicken we covered a few months ago. Coincidentally, it also served fried chicken.
Where the old Zaxby's building is today (952 William D. Fitch Parkway) was originally the right of way of (Old) Arrington Road, before it was cut off circa 2013 and re-established about seven years later with a slightly modified right of way (Spice World Market sits on the re-established portion that was on the right of way).
Zaxby's (with a fully-functional weather vane on the store) operated from November 2016 to December 2024, but while Texas may be losing its taste for the chain1 (a number have closed in the Houston area and others), highway access wasn't easy from either direction, nor was there good signage for it; it never graced the logo sign for the Highway 40 exit either.
1. The chain has since dropped the apostrophe.
