Slim Chickens announced it is expanding its presence in Texas with current franchisee, Joel Garza of TX-SC Ventures LLC. for several locations in Brazos and Polk Counties.
The better-chicken brand has opened more than 255 locations across the United States, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. With more than 1,200 locations in development, and a track record of opening two stores a week, the brand’s momentum continues to prove its stronghold in its segment.
“I have hit an absolute home run with Slim Chickens, and I can’t wait to continue growing my portfolio with such an amazing brand,” says Garza. “After working with a variety of brands over my journey in the restaurant industry, I can say confidently that Slims is the best chicken concept to work with and we are blessed to be a part of their family.”
Also, an operator of over 46 Sonic Drive-In locations, Garza started his journey with Slim Chickens in late 2020 with a multi-unit development deal to expand in the greater Houston area. After opening several successful locations, he is now looking forward to growing his footprint further with another development deal for three or more locations in Southeast Texas including College Station and Livingston. Expanding his portfolio with the better-chicken brand has been a collaborative and fulfilling venture and Garza is thrilled to offer more guests and employees in Texas an exceptional fast-casual experience.
“Our partnership with Joel Garza and TX-SC Ventures LLC., has been a testament to the time and resources our team has spent to build what our franchise is today,” says Sam Rothschild, COO of Slim Chickens. “We are thrilled to continue to share our name with more members of the community and cannot wait to see how Joel and his team continue to thrive with their stores throughout Texas. We are so thankful for operators like TX-SC Ventures who are just as passionate about sharing our southern hospitality and cooked-to-order chicken tenders in new and current markets.”
Slim Chickens has experienced a 60% restaurant growth over the last two years, equaling over 250 opened locations today. The brand has reached an impressive $3,864,513*. Over the last five years, Slim Chickens has experienced substantial development growth, with over 1,200 signed agreements in the pipeline. Slim Chickens is targeting several markets coast to coast for example Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, and Massachusetts as well as overseas in the European Union, Turkey, the GCC, and Asia.
The Slim Chickens franchise opportunity differentiates itself with prime markets available for multi-unit development, a passionate leadership team and world-class franchisee support system. As Slim Chickens expands, it is awarding franchise opportunities to qualified, experienced and passionate multi-unit groups looking to add a dynamic segment to their portfolio.
