Big Chicken Opens Restaurant at Jackson State University
Big Chicken has launched a new restaurant location on the campus of Jackson State University. This marks the brand's fourth university opening and its first in Mississippi.
Big Chicken, a fast-casual restaurant concept co-founded by Shaquille O'Neal, has opened its latest location at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi.
The restaurant is operating in partnership with SodexoMAGIC, a joint venture between Sodexo and O'Neal's investment firm. This opening represents Big Chicken's fourth university campus presence and its initial foray into the Mississippi market.
The new Jackson State location aims to offer students and faculty a variety of menu items inspired by O'Neal's childhood favorites. The brand emphasizes a casual dining experience with a focus on American comfort food.
Big Chicken operates other university locations across the United States. The company has stated its goal to expand its footprint in both campus dining and general market restaurants.
