A popular fried chicken chain has landed in Bucks County, marking its Pennsylvania debut.
Zaxbys is set to open its new location March 23 along Route 13 in Levittown, taking the place of Zaika Kabab & Curry, which closed last summer.
The new fast-casual restaurant is to offer dine-in, drive-thru service and online ordering for curbside pickup. Delivery is to be available through Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub.
Owned and operated by George Abdelmessiehm, a retired engineer with more than 30 years of franchise experience through his multiple Dunkin’ locations across South Jersey and Philadelphia, the new Levittown location is part of a larger rollout by Abdelmessiehm to bring 10 Zaxbys to the Philadelphia region within the next few years, according to a press release issued by the company in 2024.
“The chance to bring Zaxbys to Philadelphia is both exciting and meaningful,” Abdelmessiehm said in the earlier release.
“I recognize that Zaxbys is a strong brand with an excellent product. These values align with the principles I’ve relied on to build my other franchise businesses. Bringing Zaxbys to Philly is something I’m building not only for my community, but also for my family, creating a legacy I hope will benefit my children and grandchildren.”
