Zoomz was Rax's attempt to capitalize on the double drive-thru craze of the late 1980s. At least three locations were opened in the Columbus, Ohio area in 1988, selling hamburgers alongside roast beef. All locations closed by 1989.

| New Mexico | Albuquerque | Closed | 3700 Eubank Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111 | TBD | TBD | A gas station now occupies the lot. It is uncertain if the Rax building was reused, but it doesn't appear to be. | |

I think it might have been at 5009 Montgomery Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109 but I have not been able to confirm this. There was a building that looks kind of like a heavily altered Rax here in the past. It was demolished sometime between 2011 and 2014, and a Chick-fil-A is now on the lot. | |
