Zaxby's is showing the heart of Georgia some sweet love with a milkshake market test exclusively for Middle Georgians.

After seven years of a Zaxby's milkshake "drought", the popular chicken-centric restaurant is releasing four flavors of hand-crafted milkshakes exclusively in Baldwin, Dodge, Houston, Jones, Laurens, Macon-Bibb, Monroe, Peach, and Washington counties.

The milkshake flavors being released are Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, and Birthday Cake.

The release is referred to as "Milkshake Tourism" as Zaxby's, which is based in Athens, Georgia, has partnered with Visit Macon for this market test to show some of the benefits of living in Macon and Middle Georgia.

Zaxby's hand-crafted milkshakes are currently being served up exclusively at twenty locations around Middle Georgia.

Zaxby's released a commercial that includes prominent Macconites like Newton Collier and Mayor Lester Miller
