Growth, Succession Planning and Tech: Exploring Success With Slim Chickens CEO Tom Gordon

Listen to our conversation with Tom Gordon, CEO and co-founder of Slim Chickens, to discuss the meteoric rise of this fast-casual restaurant. Gordon walks us through Slim Chickens’ growth from a garage in Arkansas to nearly 300 locations around the globe.

During the discussion, Gordon touches on how this bold growth plan was powered by automated tech that helped hire, onboard and develop a rapidly expanding workforce. As the franchise business continues to grow, Gordon also discusses how he and his leadership team are able to maintain Slim Chickens’ core identity from store to store.
