Slim Chickens is opening an express location this fall at Pennsylvania State University. Located inside the HUB-Robeson Center, the restaurant will offer affordable lunch options, ranging from cooked-to-order chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches and chicken wraps, according to a company press release.

"Our menu is a sure college dining favorite," Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens, said in the release "From our hand-breaded tenders, students will get a taste of southern comfort food at University Park. We know that Slim's will be a welcome addition and that Nittany Lions will have a new, fresh choice on campus."

Slim Chickens will be a perfect complement to the national brands and Penn State proprietary favorites at the HUB-Robeson Center, Vince Raco, interim director for retail dining at University Park, said in the release.

"The menu will offer quality and value our guests expect, as well as the essential speed of service at lunch to satisfy our customers' express dining needs," he said.

Slim Chickens, which opened in 2003 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, is adding several additional college campus locations this year, along with over 50 traditional locations.
