Slim Chickens announced today it is expanding its presence further in the northeast. Spearheaded by established multi-unit operator PSMMSM PA Ventures, the group has signed for at least 12 locations in Pennsylvania including the counties of Lancaster, Lebanon, Dauphin, York, Cumberland, Centre, Franklin, Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, and Adams.
“When we found Slim Chickens, we were immediately hooked by the food - it’s second to none in the chicken segment, said the seasoned multi-unit operator. “The executive team welcomed us with open arms, and I just knew that this was the perfect addition to our portfolio. We can’t wait to see what the future has in store and in all of the communities our restaurants will serve.”
Backed by decades of experience in the fast-food industry in Pennsylvania, the seasoned multi-unit operating group has been involved in owning and operating Dunkin’ restaurants since 1999 in which they have earned several awards and recognitions for growth and operations. The group has also brought innovation to the forefront, helping the brand develop a CTS. With Dunkin’ restaurants today in the LHYA market, the group is looking to take its experience to develop and grow Slim Chickens throughout central Pennsylvania.
“PSMMSM PA Ventures is an ideal operator to introduce Slims’ in Pennsylvania. Backed by extensive experience and dedication to growing a successful restaurant footprint, the group is a valuable addition to our team,” said Jackie Lobdell, Vice President of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens. “Their passion for our brand and values to offer quality food and service to the community in Pennsylvania will quickly make Slim Chickens a go-to mealtime destination.”
“We are thrilled about our partnership with PSMMSM PA Ventures and for the opportunity to introduce our Southern hospitality and cooked-to-order chicken tenders to the communities throughout Pennsylvania, said Sam Rothschild, COO of Slim Chickens.
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.
