OKEECHOBEE — A Slim Chickens restaurant is planned on U.S. 441 S. on the site of the old Spring Gardens restaurant in the Winn Dixie plaza. The building had also previously housed a Burger King.
Tyler Frazier of QDI Construction was on the site on March 6 where the old building was being demolished.
He said they plan to move quickly to build the new restaurant. They will start accepting employment applications next month. Opening day for the new restaurant is planned for June 10.
Slim Chickens is a causal restaurant which specializes in chicken tenders, wings, sandwiches, wraps, chicken and waffles and more. Slim Chickens also serves desserts in Mason jars, including a strawberry cheesecake dessert, a chocolate brownie, along with other seasonal flavors.
The restaurant chain was founded in 2003 by Greg Smart and Tom Gordon. The first location was in Fayetteville, Ark. The company has expanded with more than 100 locations in 19 states.
