Sioux Falls, S.D. — Slim Chickens, a leading fast-casual franchise in the better-chicken segment, is expanding its presence throughout eastern South Dakota and northwest Iowa. Existing franchisee Todd Porter of TNT Chicken is spearheading this expansion.
Porter is well-versed in the restaurant industry. In late 2017, he added Slim Chickens to his portfolio alongside several restaurant concepts, including local staples Chevys Fresh Mex and Johnny Carino’s. Porter also has experience in the full-service restaurant sector, as he owned and operated multiple Applebee’s locations throughout South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. His immediate success with Slim Chickens in Sioux Falls led Porter to expand his agreement to develop several new locations throughout East South Dakota and Northeast Iowa.
“Todd has had nothing but success with his current Slim Chickens locations, and we know that will continue with his expansion,” says Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens. “Todd is a great example of the type of experience multi-unit operator that we are looking to grow across the globe with.”
Slim Chickens first opened in 2003 in Fayetteville, Ark. Today, there are more than 185 Slim Chickens locations open in the U.S. and United Kingdom and 1,100 restaurants in development. For more information, visit www.slimchickensfranchise.com and www.slimchickens.com.
