Leader in the ‘better chicken’ segment of fast-casual restaurants is now open in Bentonville
Northwest Arkansas’ latest Slim Chickens, located at 1000 SW Regional Airport Blvd. in Bentonville, offers 100% all-natural, fresh chicken and unrivaled flavor with southern flair.
For the new location, Slim Chickens partnered with long-time, global award-winning architecture and design partner Harrison who successfully supported the brand’s transfer and rapid growth in the U.K. market. Harrison supported Slim Chickens with interior and exterior design, which included signage, artwork, and finishes. Guests are greeted with a lively interior that features new wall graphics and an updated seating layout with Slim Chickens’ classic Southern hospitality. Drive-thru guests can take advantage of the expanded two-lane drive-thru with digital menu boards and pay and pickup windows to get their fresh, delicious chicken fast!
