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.

Finally, we touch on how Slim Chickens developed a succession plan to ensure continuity to this day.
