According to a recent permit filing, Big Chicken is set to expand to Tacoma at 2601 North Pearl Street Suite 500.
A representative of Big Chicken was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
According to Big Chicken’s website, the Tacoma location will come sometime in the spring of 2024. An article from Essentially Sports states that the franchise owner is Tony Puckett, a Tacoma local.
Big Chicken’s website states “Founded in 2018, Big Chicken is backed by a dream team of partners; JRS Hospitality, an accomplished Las Vegas-based ownership group; Authentic Brands Group, a multi-national, multi-billion-dollar brand development, marketing, and entertainment company; and Hall of Fame basketball star Shaquille O’Neal.”
“Big Chicken fuses O’Neal’s home-cooked childhood favorites with today’s trending flavors. From crispy chicken sandwiches and tenders to Cheez-It® crusted mac n’ cheese and hand-crafted ice cream shakes, each menu item tells a story all while offering guests an inside look into the life and personality of Shaquille O’Neal.”
“At Big Chicken, we are committed to supporting the communities where we operate. We believe in giving back to those who need it most, especially in the areas of kids, education, and feeding the hungry.”
