The space, known as “the living room of campus,” is a place for studying, socializing, and campus events. The opening is in partnership with Sodexo Foods.
“University openings like Creighton represent a meaningful step for Slim Chickens as we continue to diversify our development strategy,” said Jackie Lobdell, Vice President of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens. “Nontraditional venues, from campuses to airports, prove the versatility of our model. Partnering with Sodexo Foods at Creighton brings our signature Southern hospitality and high-quality chicken to students and faculty and showcases how Slim Chickens can thrive in unique, high-traffic environments that build long-term brand loyalty.”
