Company Update
Eight years into the partnership, ArrowStream continues to power Slim Chickens' supply chain visibility as the brand expands nationally and internationally.
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2026 / ArrowStream, Inc. ("ArrowStream"), the leader in end-to-end supply chain management software for the foodservice industry, announced Slim Chickens renewed its partnership with ArrowStream to continue the support of their rapid business growth by leveraging data and innovative solutions for a modern supply chain operation.
Slim Chickens first turned to ArrowStream in 2017 as a 70-location emerging chain looking for a technology partner that could scale alongside its ambitions. Today, Slim Chickens has grown into a national franchise, with 220 restaurants across the U.S. and over 280 worldwide. ArrowStream's supply chain visibility and contract price auditing tools have been part of that growth every step of the way.
"ArrowStream is built into how we run every day, and we're thrilled to be renewing our partnership," said Lee Nordin, VP of Procurement & Supply Chain at Slim Chickens. "Every year our business gets more complex, with more markets, more distributors, more moving pieces, and ArrowStream's platform has scaled right along with us. Their team understands our business, and that kind of partnership is hard to find."
Slim Chickens' continued growth reflects a broader trend ArrowStream has seen across its network of chain restaurant operators, distributors and foodservice suppliers: emerging brands need scalable, data-driven tools to compete with far larger, more established chains. For Slim Chickens, that means continued access to real-time visibility into distributor shipments, inventory and store-level usage, the same data infrastructure that helped the brand navigate rapid growth, protect margins, and maintain consistency across a fast-expanding footprint.
"Slim Chickens is a great example of what's possible when a brand commits early to using data to drive smarter supply chain decisions," said Michelle Clark, Senior Director of Account Management at ArrowStream. "We've watched them grow from a regional favorite into an international franchise, and it's been rewarding to be a long-term part of that journey. Renewals like this one are exactly why we built ArrowStream to grow with our customers, not just serve them at a single point in time."
