Just noticed that the Jim's Chicken (a Swadley's BBQ concept chicken restauarnt) located at SW 89th and Western now has a "Relocating Soon" sign, and I believe the noted address is for their other location in Nicoma Park.
Never heard much about this particular place either way, and it never seemed particularly busy. Was not open very long - maybe six months/year, not sure. Swadley's put quite a bit of $ into the building to convert it from the old BBQ place into the chicken store, so I'd have to assume it did really poorly to justify closing it so quickly. With Slim Chickens, Grandy's, KFC within a mile, plus other chicken restaurants down the road a bit in Moore, this one probably started life behind the proverbial 8-ball.
Don't know if Swadley's owns the building or leases it from Brookwood. Kinda sad as that building used to be an A&W restaurant years ago, and the top of the old structure was lopped off when they converted it into Jim's....not much of the A&W left.
