A beloved national brand is bringing Maryland chicken enthusiasts a gift this holiday season. Zaxby’s, helmed by the Stradford Empowerment Group, will be opening a new location in Timonium before the year is over.
Construction is underway on the chicken franchise’s upcoming 2027 York Road home. Stradford Empowerment Group has been stoking enthusiasm and building excitement for the location via Facebook; the franchisee has been posting videos showing the restaurant’s progress as it builds.
Ownership has expressed great enthusiasm and high hopes for the Timonium location. A social media post made on October 27 expresses Stradford Empowerment Group’s hope that the eatery will be more than just a way for locals to satisfy a poultry craving, saying: “For us, this is about more than opening another restaurant. It’s about creating jobs, providing opportunities, building meaningful relationships, and becoming part of the fabric of a community that continues to grow and thrive. We’re looking forward to connecting with local businesses, schools, organizations, and residents while doing our part to contribute to the area’s continued success. New opportunities. Stronger connections. A new chapter for Timonium! Building stronger communities, together!”
The buildout is moving at a steady clip, suggesting that Zaxby’s will achieve its stated goal of being open to the public this December.
