Slim Chickens announced its new restaurant opening at 3369 W Chinden Blvd, Meridian, ID 83646. Spearheaded by reputable multi-unit operating group, Ultra Vortex Chicken, this is their first location opening in Idaho.
The better-chicken brand has opened more than 240 locations across the United States and the United Kingdom. The brand is known and loved for its hand-breaded, cooked-to-order tenders and passionate group of followers within the markets it operates. With more than 1,150 locations in development, the brand’s momentum continues to prove its stronghold in its segment.
“We are thrilled to bring the community of Meridian the opportunity to enjoy our quality cooked-to-order chicken tenders and inviting atmosphere,” says Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens. “As this is the first location in the state, we are thankful for established operations groups like Ultra Vortex Chicken who are just as dedicated to sharing our name and beloved recipe with more communities as we continue to expand in Idaho and across the country.”
The brand prides itself on its cooked-to-order fresh food and strong devoted fanbase, also known as “Slimthusiasts.” Slim Chickens has distinguished itself in the “better-chicken” segment by offering high-quality food and 17 house-made dipping sauces, allowing customers to enjoy a different flavor profile with each visit. Its menu is broader than many in the segment, offering chicken tenders, fresh salads, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, chicken wings, and unique side items. Fans also resonate with the southern contemporary look and feel, as well as the open and inviting layout of Slim Chickens restaurants, which speak to the hospitality mindset that anchors the brand.
“We are so happy to open our first location in Idaho. As we continue to extend our presence and original quality recipes across the United States and globally, each location we open signifies the success in the service and support systems we have created for Slim Chickens franchisees,” said Sam Rothschild, COO of Slim Chickens. “We are so thankful for operators like Ultra Vortex Chicken who are dedicated to sharing our southern hospitality and cooked-to-order chicken tenders with more members of the community.”
