“Our new Pleasant Grove location will improve customer access to our delicious chicken,” said Will Smith, franchise operator and founding member with the L.O.V.E Restaurant Group. Aside from bringing fantastic food and Southern-inspired sides to the area, the new Pleasant Grove Slim Chickens location will also make a positive impact by creating over 80 new jobs in the community. “An important part of our mission at L.O.V.E is to lead, mentor and develop our employees, for many of whom this is their first job. The most important part of our mission is welcoming our customers with Southern hospitality, while serving a hot, delicious meal that is of great value to our customers, in a clean and safe environment,” Smith said.

The Pleasant Grove opening is one piece in Slim Chickens’ larger growth story. Since its founding in 2003, the brand is now in 30 states with 190 U.S. and International openings and an overall goal of opening 600 restaurants by 2025.
