Slim Chickens closes St. Cloud fast-food restaurant
St. Cloud has lost one of its popular fast food chicken spots this week.
Slim Chickens closed on Tuesday, according to a sign posted on the restaurant's door, and employees were notified of the closure last week.
"It is with great sadness that we must report that we have had to make the very difficult business decision to close this restaurant," the sign said. "We appreciate your dedication and focus over our almost 2-year run."

The Arkansas-based chicken chain first opened at 4181 Second St. S. in St. Cloud in 2023. It served items such as chicken tenders and wings, sandwiches and jar desserts.
Slim Chickens also operates another location in Mankato.
