Slim Chickens to Expand Fast-Casual Chicken Tender Chain in Northern Atlanta Suburbs by 2026

Exciting News for Fast Food Lovers in Northern Atlanta!

If you’re a fan of delicious, hand-breaded chicken tenders and Southern hospitality, then we have some fantastic news for you! A popular fast-casual restaurant chain known as Slim Chickens is planning a major expansion in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. How exciting is that?

What’s Cooking?

Slim Chickens has just signed a 10-unit development agreement that means they’ll be serving up their renowned chicken tenders in several counties, including Floyd, Gordon, Bartow, Cherokee, Forsyth, Hall, Jackson, and Clarke. The first new location is set to open its doors by April 2026, and locals can’t wait to dive into some finger-licking good food!

Meet the Dynamic Duo

The development will be spearheaded by Lance Burns and Mike Waller of Peach State Slims. This duo is no stranger to the fast-food business; they’ve been successful Sonic franchisees for several years and already co-own a Sonic location. Their relationship with Slim Chickens started during their trips to Florida, where they fell in love with the menu and the community feel of the restaurant. It’s safe to say, they’re ready to spread that love to Georgia!

Berns expressed their enthusiasm by saying, “Slim Chickens is exactly the kind of concept we wanted to add to our portfolio, with its strong focus on high-quality food and exceptional service.” Sounds like a match made in heaven, right?

Why Slim Chickens?

You might be wondering, what makes Slim Chickens so special? Well, this better-chicken brand is already a hit with almost 300 locations across the United States, as well as in countries like Turkey, Germany, and the UK. It’s famous for its fried chicken that’s always cooked to order and hand-breaded. Plus, who can resist their community-centric atmosphere?

The restaurant has shown impressive growth over the last three years, experiencing a whopping 70% growth in the number of restaurants and nearly 40% increase in same-store sales. With over 1,200 openings signed in the development pipeline, they’re just getting started!

What’s Next?

As Slim Chickens continues its expansion, they’re looking for enthusiastic franchise partners who are passionate about the brand. This is perfect for experienced multi-unit groups who want to bring something truly special to their communities. According to Slim Chickens, they are particularly interested in prime markets with the potential for dynamic growth. This includes places not only in Georgia but also major cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and even overseas in Europe and Asia.

Community Commitment

What’s refreshing about Slim Chickens is their commitment to surpassing customer expectations with every meal. They pride themselves on their exceptional franchisee support system and focus on Southern hospitality. Jackie Lobdell, Vice President of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens, noted, “We are so thankful for operators like them who are dedicated to sharing our Southern hospitality.”

It’s clear that this expansion not only aims to bring great food to new communities but also to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels right at home.

Wrapping It Up

So, there you have it! Slim Chickens is on its way to making its delicious mark on the northern Atlanta suburbs within the next couple of years. Get ready for those mouthwatering chicken tenders, crispy fries, and fantastic service. It looks like there’s another reason to celebrate the fast-food scene in Georgia!
