Slim Chickens will open a second outlet in Conway, South Carolina, at 2199 Church St., the former site of Roadrunner Antiques. The 100‑year‑old building was demolished to accommodate the new chicken joint and a Firehouse Subs. The chain plans a May‑June launch for locals this.

Locals expect the hand‑breaded buttermilk tenders to fill a niche left by the closing of a regional fast‑food chain. The move signals Slim Chickens’ intent to capture a growing appetite for casual, high‑margin poultry in the low‑cost dining segment across the state and beyond soon.

Since opening its first South Carolina location in Columbia last year, Slim Chickens has expanded to seven sites nationwide. The new Conway spot follows a recent launch in Myrtle Beach, positioning the brand to leverage regional tourism and a steady stream of college‑town traffic today.

Franchise developers eye the Conway site as a testbed for future South Carolina openings. Investors will watch the May‑June opening for early sales data, while local diners anticipate a new menu option that could reshape the town’s competitive dining mix for the next season and.
