After committing to 32 new Slim Chickens restaurants in 10 years, Lucas Barnett and his partner needed a bank they could trust to help launch their franchise in Arizona. Through mutual connections, Lucas was introduced to Bell Bank, and quickly discovered that Bell was different. 

“Most people want a regional bank to loan them money for that relationship, and they want a big national bank to hold their money,” Lucas said. “And what we saw was a unique opportunity with Bell, where they have the technology, they have the ability to help make our business more efficient.” 

The Bell team took the time to understand Lucas’s goals, and then delivered tailored banking solutions and products to help support the franchise’s growth.
