## Story

Slim Chickens announced today two new restaurant openings in Concord and Jacksonville, North Carolina. Spearheaded by the established multi-unit operating groups, the new Concord restaurant is Break Bread Ventures fourth and Fly the Coop’s first in Jacksonville.

“We are thrilled to bring our cooked-to-order chicken tenders to more communities in North Carolina,” said Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens. “Growing our loyal following in Concord and Jacksonville is so exciting as we continue to see residents embrace our southern hospitality and welcoming atmosphere.”

Slim Chickens offers high-quality food and 17 house-made dipping sauces, allowing customers to enjoy a different flavor profile with each visit. Its menu is broader than many in the segment, offering chicken tenders, fresh salads, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, chicken wings and unique side items. Fans also resonate with the southern contemporary look and feel, as well as the open and inviting layout of Slim Chickens restaurants, which speak to the hospitality mindset that anchors the brand.

“We are honored to work with well-established operating groups like Break Bread Ventures and Fly the Coop," said Sam Rothschild, COO of Slim Chickens.

Slim Chickens is a fast-casual brand in the better-chicken segment, built to scale across markets with flexible formats. Its diverse menu, cooked-to-order quality, and Southern hospitality continue to drive strong growth.
