Nathan Finney of FHG Slims will be developing 14 Slim Chickens restaurants in Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and more key markets throughout Michigan.
“After operating in the full-service restaurant industry, I wanted to diversify my portfolio with a new and exciting concept. Slim Chickens was just that—not only is the food amazing, but the extensive support that franchisees receive is phenomenal,” said Finney. “The environment that each Slims’ location has is extremely welcoming, and that extends to the corporate team as well. Its franchisees are treated like family, and that was the selling point for me.”
