I have never been to a Slim Chickens, but I will go soon.
Slim Chickens is a fast-casual restaurant chain which specializes in chicken tenders, wings, sandwiches, salads, wraps, chicken & waffles, and other items.
It was founded in 2003 by Greg Smart and Tom Gordon.
The first location opened in 2003 at 2120 N. College Avenue in Fayetteville, Arkansas, inside a building formerly home to a sushi restaurant.
In 2005, the second location opened in the nearby city of Rogers.
The chain's expansion accelerated in 2008 with five more company-owned locations opening in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
In 2013, the first franchise location was opened in Texarkana by businessman Greg McKay.
The next year, six regional franchise deals were made. The company has since expanded with more than 100 locations in 19 states, with international locations in the UK and Kuwait. The 100th location officially opened at 16105 Chenal Parkway in Little Rock on Dec. 18, 2020.

- talk about perfect timing: new location in Williston, ND, at same time Trenton, ND, wins the $2.8 billion lottery;
- these guys are smart; where do most of the oil workers in Norht Dakota come from?
- founded in 2003 -- less than twenty years later;
- we have several locations in DFW metropolitan area; whoo-hoo!
