More details have been revealed about the new restaurant opening in Swindon's Designer Outlet this week.
Slim Chickens will treat the first 30 customers in the queue to free food when it opens its doors at 12pm on Wednesday.
The American-style eatery is replacing Giraffe World Kitchen at the Rodbourne retail destination.
The newly-designed site includes seats for a total of 130 people indoors and outdoors, takeaway and click-and-collect options for its meals, and TV screens showing live sport.
The latest branch in the global chain which originated in Arkansas, USA has created 30 jobs in Swindon, and joins other UK branches in Cheshire, York, Manchester, London, and Birmingham.
Operations director Richard Pigott said: “Swindon is a prime destination for us, and we are thrilled to keep growing our partnership with the McArthurGlen outlets.
"With our made-to-order, fresh culinary creations, we provide the perfect pitstop for city dwellers, and our Slim Chickens app offers an array of enticing offers, with our new app loyalty programme and weekly saver offers.
"We simply can't contain our excitement as we prepare to unlock the doors to Swindon.”
Slim Chickens serves up Southern-inspired dishes that aim to provide a taste of America, including hand-breaded buttermilk chicken tenders, Buffalo wings, sandwiches, wraps, salads, sides, vegetarian options, and a range of 15 dipping sauces.
The restaurant offers a breakfast menu until 11am that has buttermilk chicken tenders with smoked cheddar cheese, a fried egg in Texas toast served in a bap or breakfast bap alongside hash browns and orange juice.
The latest addition to the menu is a Crispy Wings and Terry’s Chocolate Orange Milkshake.
Its opening hours will be 10am to 8pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 6pm on Sundays.
Giraffe World Kitchen closed on August 31 and its unit has undergone a transformation while covered in hoardings advertising the new arrival to the shopping hub.
Both Slim Chickens and Giraffe World Kitchen are owned by the Boparan Restaurant Group.
CEO Satnam Leihal added: "This is already a fantastic partnership for the business and we welcome Swindon to our growing restaurants within the McArthurGlen outlets.
"With its unmatched combination of authentic flavours, impeccable hospitality, and stunning setting, Slim Chickens is set to become the go-to culinary destination in Swindon.
"So, mark your calendars, food enthusiasts, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable gastronomic journey."
