Slim Chickens is a fast-casual[3] restaurant chain which specializes in chicken tenders and wings. It was founded in 2003 by Tom Gordon, Greg Smart, and Ryan Hodson.[4][5]
The first location opened in 2003, inside a former sushi restaurant[4] in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In 2005, the second location opened in the nearby city of Rogers.[4] The chain's expansion accelerated in 2008 with five more openings in Arkansas and Oklahoma.[4] In 2013, the first franchise location was opened[4]; the next year, six regional franchise deals were made.[5] In a partnership with Persian Gulf conglomerate Alghanim Industries, the first international Slim Chickens opened in Salmiya, Kuwait[6] in March 2017.[1] A London branch opened at 35 James Street in March 2018.
