Porter has had success with his Slim Chickens restaurants in the Sioux Falls area and has decided to expand his agreement to develop several more of the fast-casual brand’s locations throughout East South Dakota and Northeast Iowa. “Ever since I opened my first Slim Chickens location, I knew that I would want more,” said Porter. “Having the ability to grow with such a fan-favorite concept is amazing. I am excited for many successful years to come with the breakthrough better-chicken brand!” Porter, a longtime restaurant veteran, first added Slim Chickens to his portfolio in 2017. He also operates a number of other restaurant concepts, including Chevys Fresh Mex and Johnny Carino’s. Porter previously owned and operated multiple Applebee’s locations throughout South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska. - Get Started in Franchising - Franchise Rankings & Awards - Franchise Sales & Development - Featured Franchise Stories Franchising.com is produced by Franchise Update Media.
