Hazlehurst-Jeff Davis County Chamber of Commerce

06/04/2026

From a ribbon cutting just a few short months ago to being named our Quarter 1 Business of the Quarter, it's clear that Zaxbys has already made a tremendous impact in our community!

Whether they're sponsoring local events and sports teams, providing meals for community programs, or greeting customers with a smile each day at their East Jarman Street location, Zaxby's continues to demonstrate what it means to be a community-minded business.

Congratulations to the entire Zaxby's team on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for your investment in Hazlehurst and Jeff Davis County!

A special shoutout to our Business of the Quarter program sponsor Renasant Bank!
