## Story

Slim Chickens announced today its new restaurant opening in Seven Oaks, United Kingdom. Reputable multi-unit operators, Boparan Restaurant Group and Sainsbury’s, are at the forefront of the opening.

“Sharing Slim Chickens’ southern hospitality and quality cooked-to-order chicken tenders with the Seven Oaks community leaves us feeling nothing but excitement,” said Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens. “A prime operating group like Boparan Restaurant Group and Sainsbury are the perfect fit to spread our household name, and we are honored to continue seeing the brand be embraced by more communities nationally and overseas.

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 17 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 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.
