Slim Chickens Achieves 300th Location Milestone in Iowa

Slim Chickens announced today its newest restaurant opening in Waukee. Spearheaded by multi-unit operator Edotto Group, this is the group’s third Slim Chickens opening and the brand’s 300th location opening.

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

“We are beyond excited to celebrate our 300th opening and bring our signature cooked-to-order chicken tenders and Southern hospitality to the Waukee community,” said Jackie Lobdell, Vice President of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens.

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.

“Slim Chickens has shown that bold flavors and heartfelt hospitality create a winning formula,” said Sam Rothschild, Chief Strategy Officer of Slim Chickens. “We couldn’t achieve this milestone without the dedication of multi-unit operators like Edotto Group, whose commitment allows us to share our Southern hospitality and delicious 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.
