Slim Chickens announced it has inked a deal for the entire state of Indiana and the Southeast region of Florida for a total of 60 locations. With over 750 locations in development, the brand’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
“Slim Chickens’ leadership team is top-notch,” says Al Cabrera, the franchise partner spearheading the 60-unit deal. “After three decades in the restaurant industry, it is easy to spot an amazing opportunity, and Slims’ was a clear choice for the next addition to my portfolio.”
Cuban refugee Cabrera is a talented multi-concept franchisee with over 35 years of experience. He has the tools, knowledge and team to lead the brand’s development into Indiana and further grow the brand presence in Florida.
“This is a huge moment for Slim Chickens,” adds Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens. “We are entering a new state and dramatically growing our presence in Florida, and doing it all with a strong operator who believes in our leadership team, has passion for the brand and has the skillset to run successful restaurants. We’re beyond excited to welcome Al to Slim Chickens, and look forward to watching him grow.”
