Paris, Tenn.–Construction of the Zaxby’s restaurant in Paris is moving right along and is still on target for completion in August of 2026. The sit-down restaurant is being built on Mineral Wells Ave. right next to the Starbucks. The restaurant will be built with the new farmhouse style that the franchise’s newer restaurants have. City of Paris Community Development Director Jessica Crouch said the Zaxby’s will be a sit-down restaurant that will seat 56 and also feature a two-lane drive-thru. It will be approximately 3,200 square feet. The site plan for the new restaurant was approved at the December 2025 planning commission meeting. Shannon McFarlin photo.
