About Me
Tony Townley founded the chicken chain Zaxby's with Zach McLeroy, his best friend since the seventh grade. Townley and McLeroy each put up $8,000 to open the first Zaxby's restaurant in Statesboro, Georgia in 1990. In 2020, Townley sold his stake in the business to Goldman Sachs for nearly $1 billion (pre-tax). McLeroy sold part of his stake and remained CEO after the sale before stepping down from the chief executive role in 2022. Townley and his wife Elizabeth have poured a chunk of their earnings into buying at least 35,000 acres of timberland and farmland around Georgia.
