Slim Chickens expects to have over 300 restaurants open by the end of this year and has 1,150 more in various stages of development. "We can't get idle," said CEO Tom Gordon.
Yelp’s data shows that 10% more restaurants opened in 2023 versus 2022, while 2% more restaurants opened in 2023 versus 2019, driven by new dessert and pop-up concepts.
