Pflugerville residents Sarju and Leslie Patel will open a Zaxby's location at 1301 FM 685, Pflugerville, in December.

Zaxby's is a quick-serve food service establishment that sells chicken strips, sandwiches and wings as well as fries, salads, desserts and Texas toast. The location will be owned and operated by Sarju and Leslie.

Sarju said he wanted to open a quick-serve restaurant in the city that would keep most of the money in Pflugerville. He said 94 percent of the money made by a local Zaxby's stays in the community, and only 6 percent is sent to the company's Atlanta headquarters for the license.

"As residents it was important to us most of the money stays here in the community," he said.
