About Slim Chickens

Slim Chickens is a crave-able and cool fast-casual restaurant brand operating in the “better chicken” category, which is poised for significant growth in the UK and Europe.

Slim Chickens delivers a fabulous customer experience and offers operators a highly profitable, uncomplicated model. Customers get fresh, cooked-to-order food, quickly and at great value prices. It’s a simple proposition, wrapped in Southern hospitality and is proving to be a real winner.

Since signing the master franchise for the UK and Ireland, Slim Chickens has successfully launched six stores in 2019 with all of them trading beyond the brand’s expectations.

Based on this success and how the UK has embraced Slims as a brand they love, the franchisor is very ambitious about its future growth potential.

How does the Slim Chickens franchise model work?

A Slim Chickens franchisee will sign a development agreement to open five stores within four years within their trade zones. From site identification, store design, build, launch and ongoing performance, Slim Chickens has a group of approved suppliers and an in-house support team on hand to help maximise your success.

What kind of franchisee is Slim Chickens looking for?

As well as an appetite for multiple units, potential partners will likely be either an existing experienced branded food and beverage franchisee looking to diversify their business; or an individual or consortia of investors seeking to create their own business with a proven food brand. Together with a passion for great food and hospitality, we would be most interested in entering talks with those who can offer the ability to source suitable locations, understand how to operate with excellence and deliver exceptional customer experiences having put together the right team.

What training and support do franchisees receive?

A potential franchise partner will be showcased the offer at one of our stores and will have at the right time the opportunity to meet with the Slim Chickens UK executive team to get all their questions answered.
