About Me

Zach McLeroy founded the chicken chain Zaxby's with Tony Townley, 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, McLeroy sold 20% of his stake to Goldman Sachs for an estimated $400 million; he still owns 30% of the business. Townley sold his entire stake in the business to Goldman Sachs at the same time. McLeroy served as CEO of Zaxby's until 2022; he remains chairman of the board of directors.
