Merry Hill welcomes Slim Chickens

16th May 2025 | Jack Oliver

Merry Hill in Dudley has welcomed the arrival of Slim Chickens, as the fried chicken restaurant opens the first of three sites this month.

Spanning 5,229 sq ft, the two-storey restaurant will be able to accommodate up to 160 guests and will offer a range of Southern-inspired flavours.

The opening follows the recent announcement that outdoor recreation retailer Cotswold Outdoor has signed for a triple fascia store at Merry Hill, alongside sister brands Runners Need and Snow + Rock.

Nick Round, senior asset manager at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, on behalf of Merry Hill, said: “The opening of Slim Chickens’ underscores Merry Hill’s ongoing investment in its F&B options, complementing the vibrant line-up in the recently transformed leisure quarter. The popular operator adds further diversity to our roster of quick-service dining choices, meeting ever-growing consumer demand and solidifying the centre’s position as the West Midlands go-to for best-in-class F&B.”

JLL, Time Retail Partners, and Font Real Estate represent Merry Hill.
