FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BSBC’s Zaxby’s Rejoins the St. Pete Chamber
BSBC Zaxby’s is excited to rejoin the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and continue building strong relationships within the Pinellas County business community. With established locations in St. Petersburg, Largo, and Pinellas Park, BSBC remains committed to serving the area through local employment, partnerships, and community engagement.
The company’s connection to St. Pete is deeply personal. One of BSBC’s founding partners, Cotton Fletcher, was born in St. Petersburg, making the opportunity to expand and reengage in the area especially meaningful. While BSBC grew its operations in Gainesville, returning to St. Pete has been a rewarding experience, strengthened by collaboration with the Chamber and admiration for the resilience of the local business community.
To celebrate rejoining the Chamber, BSBC’s Zaxby’s has set aside 15,000 free meal codes exclusively for St. Pete Chamber member businesses. Details on how to claim the meal codes are available directly through the company by reaching out to me, Shaun@bsbczaxbys.com.
"We’re really excited to continue growing and being present down here in St. Pete," said Shaun Morris, point of contact for BSBC’s Zaxby’s. "A couple of years ago, due to the birth of my first child, I had to take a short break from spending as much time in the area. Now that he’s one year old, I’m looking forward to being back, reconnecting, and getting fully involved again."
