Aside from offering “fresh-killed poultry” from 15 city storefronts in 1950, the Chicken Shoppes was also in the beauty business.

Barbara Fabing of Lafayette Avenue was named Miss Slick Chic 1950 in an event at the Crystal Beach Ball Room. The photo shows her receiving a trophy from Chicken Shoppes owner Lewis Bronstein.
