Slim Chickens continues U.K. growth with new location

Slim Chickens has announced the opening of a new restaurant in Arndale, Manchester with the Boparan Restaurant Group. Slim Chickens has worked extensively with the group, and has opened 17 locations of the better-chicken brand across the U.K.

The Slim Chickens brand is one with over 155 combined locations across the U.S. and U.K., and has over 800 locations in development.

“Boparan Restaurant Group continually proves that they are stone-cold operators, and we know their new location will be another hit,” said Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens.

“As we continue to grow into new markets across the world, we can’t wait to continue to connect with experienced operators that have a passion for Slim Chickens and providing communities with our flavorful southern comfort food.”

The brand prides itself on standing out from others in the segment and providing more of a dining experience. Its broad menu offers customers 17 different sauces, and the restaurant is designed with a Southern look.

Slim Chickens is a busy brand, and recently celebrated the opening of its new prototype restaurant in Bentonville, Arkansas with a more compact design and a new pay window for walk-up orders. The better chicken brand started out its year by signing a multi-unit agreement for nine locations.
