Chicken Crisis in Tuscaloosa
Tuscaloosa is a town steeped in fast-food in chicken tradition. Guthrie's, Willy T's, Chick-fil-A, Zaxby's, KFC, Popeye's, Hooters, Buffalo Phil's, Baumhauer's Wings, Buffalo Wild Wings, Wing Zone, Church's.... Traveling through Tuscaloosa there is a chicken or chick finger joint every mile or so; until recently.
The Zaxby's in Northport has unexpectedly closed it doors. This after the two other Zaxby's in Tuscaloosa suddenly closed there doors earlier this year. Signes in the windows of these stores read “Temporary closed.”
The Tuscaloosa News even attempted to contact the Roosters in Zaxby's managment. "Calls to Zaxby’s headquarters in Athens, Ga., requesting comment were not returned. Zaxby’s also has removed the three Tuscaloosa County restaurants from its Web site."
It looks like not even Super Bowl Legend Jerry Rice is going to be able to help the Greater Tuscaloosa Area Zaxby's.
How will we quench our thirst for chicken Tuscaloosa!?
Never fear. There is a Bojangles’ opening soon and a Chick-fil-A is being built in Northport. Where will you get your chicken now?

Editors Note: I tried and tried to find the Zaxby's commercial with Reginald VelJohnson (Carl Winslow, the dad from Family Matters) to no avail. If you find it please let me know.
