Emirates Leisure Retail brings internationally loved fast‑casual brand Slim Chickens to the Middle East

We're excited to announce a significant new milestone for Emirates Leisure Retail as we bring the internationally loved fast‑casual brand Slim Chickens to the Middle East, with the first Dubai location opening later this year.

This partnership is a landmark step in diversifying our food service portfolio and expanding our line‑up of global brands. With its Southern‑inspired menu and vibrant guest experience, Slim Chickens is the perfect addition to meet the region’s growing appetite for high‑quality, fast‑casual dining.

As our Group CEO Tyrone Reid shared: “Welcoming Slim Chickens into the ELR portfolio reflects our commitment to bringing best‑in‑class international dining experiences to the region as we enter an important phase of growth in 2026.”

We’re proud to partner with the Slim Chickens team and look forward to delivering memorable new dining experiences across the UAE.
