Slim Chickens, a US brand whose UK franchise is run by Boparan Restaurant Group (BRG), will extend its presence in the UK with the launch of a Cardiff restaurant.
The 92-cover restaurant will be the brand’s second establishment in the UK, with its flagship eatery located just off Oxford Street, London.
With over 80 outlets in the US, Slim Chickens now aims to roll out its chain in cities across the UK.
Tom Crowley, CEO at BRG, said: “Cardiff is a lively city with a growing student population and booming food scene. It was the obvious choice for us to open our first regional restaurant outside of London.
“We can’t wait to bring a little bit of the Southern States of America to Cardiff and we believe it’s going to be a big hit.”
The restaurant, which aims to open before Christmas, will include ordering kiosks, a refillable drinks station, and a click and collect service, all designed to reduce the need for queues.
