Fayetteville, Arkansas-based Slim Chickens has signed a 23-unit agreement with Florida Slims, owned by Brian Lee, Charlie Blumberg, Jared Blair, Steven Etchen, Dan Haligas and Zach Ferrell. The first location will open next year in the Wesley Chapel area.

"When we were first introduced to the Slim Chickens brand, we were immediately sold on the concept — this brand is definitely special to be part of," Zach Ferrell said in a company press release. "We're excited to introduce members of the community to the brand. They will be 'Slimthusiasts' before you know it!"

The better-chicken brand has over 129 locations in the United States, Kuwait and the United Kingdom.
