Midlands residents are set to get another spot for chicken fingers, sandwiches and more.

A Zaxby’s restaurant is being planned in Irmo, according to social media posts from Greenville-based investment and real estate firm Insignis Partners.

The company announced on Instagram and Facebook the acquisition of a 3,454-square-foot building at 1325 Dutch Fork Road.

“The property was formally a Hardee’s which Insignis will be redeveloping into a newly renovated Zaxby’s,” the company posted.

The company’s posts did not offer a timeline for the project.

The coming Zaxby’s will be in a commercial thoroughfare and is near a shopping center that includes a Food Lion grocery store and several other retail businesses. About 25,600 cars per day travel down that stretch of Dutch Fork Road, per state Department of Transportation data.

Zaxby’s has long been known for its chicken fingers and zesty Zax Sauce, as well as wings, sandwiches, “Zalads,” sweet tea and more. The company has at least 10 locations in the Midlands area.
