In partnership with multi-unit operating group Boparan Restaurant Group, Arkansas-based Slim Chickens is opening a location in Bury St. Edmonds as well as York, United Kingdom.

"We are thrilled to bring our southern hospitality and quality cooked-to-order chicken tenders to more communities in the UK," Jackie Lobdell, vice president of franchise development at Slim Chickens, said in company press release. "We are so thankful for our partnership with Boparan and their subsidiaries like KChicken who are establishing a strong footprint for us overseas."

The better-chicken brand has opened over 245 locations across the United States and the United Kingdom.

"As we continue to extend our presence and original quality recipes 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," Sam Rothschild, COO of Slim Chickens, said in the release. "It has been amazing to see our partnership with Boparan Restaurant Group and its affiliate, KChicken, flourish and we hope to continue to work with established groups like these as we continue to grow across state lines and overseas."
