Slim Chickens has roots that run deep in the southern states of America. It all started 15 years ago in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with a craving for a quick, quality meal, fresh chicken, cooked to order. Now that southern hospitality can be found in the UK, where the food is honest, meals are social and the door is always open.
Who owns Slim Chickens?
Greg Smart, co-founder, and CMO of Slim Chickens started the brand in a garage test kitchen in 2002 with high school friend Tom Gordon and has positioned the brand as an emerging leader in the “better chicken” segment.
Focusing solely on chicken, Slim Chickens has seen double-digit comp sales growth for the past three years, and has experienced accelerated growth. This is due to a commitment to serve traditional Southern hospitality within its communities while offering the convenience and affordability of fast-casual dining.
In 2014, the brand’s first year of franchising, Slim Chickens was able to sign on with six franchise partners, who all will develop multiple units in their respective markets. Currently, the brand has a lofty goal of 600 restaurants across the country by 2025.
