Slim Chickens opens 2nd Maryland location

Arkansas-based Slim Chickens is opening in its second location in Maryland, in the city of California. The store is located at 22622 MacArthur Blvd., and is under the direction of multi-unit operating group D&D Slims.

"We are so excited to open a new location in Maryland bringing even more opportunities for chicken lovers to enjoy our southern comfort food paired with a variety of homemade dipping sauces," Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens, said in a company press release. "Established operating groups like D&D Slims that are dedicated and eager to share Slims' flavorful food and welcoming environment are the type of investors we are seeking to connect with."

The better-chicken brand has opened over 200 locations across the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

"As we continue to grow 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," COO Sam Rothschild said in the release. "We are honored on behalf of the people who have enabled us to be the brand we are today and who continue to share southern hospitality and fresh, delicious chicken to new communities across the globe. There are still a lot of opportunities domestically and internationally, and we are eager to bring on and support multi-unit restaurateurs like D&D Slims."
