## Story

Slim Chickens announced today its newest restaurant opening in Cambridge. Spearheaded by KChicken, sub-franchisee of multi-unit operator Boparan Restaurant Group.

Slim Chickens is known and loved for its hand-breaded, cooked-to-order tenders and passionate followers within its markets.

The brand prides itself on its cooked-to-order fresh food and strong devoted fanbase, also known as “Slimthusiasts.” Slim Chickens has distinguished itself in the “better-chicken” segment by offering high-quality food and 14 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.

“Each location we open signifies the success in the service and support systems we have created for Slim Chickens franchisees,” said Sam Rothschild, Chief Strategy Officer of Slim Chickens. “We are honored by the dedication of franchise groups like KChicken and Boparan Restaurant Group, whose passion and commitment enable us to share Southern hospitality and our delicious, fresh-cooked chicken with communities around the world.”

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.
