## Story

Since its founding in 2018, the fast casual restaurant brand has opened in various high-profile arenas, all of which were developed by Oak View Group (OVG). Big Chicken’s location at CFG Arena will be joining several other OVG properties.

“Our partnership with OVG has helped us bring BIG food, BIG flavor and BIG fun to arenas across the country,” said Josh Halpern, CEO of Big Chicken. “We’re ecstatic to continue our growth in multipurpose venues with our newest opening in CFG Bank Arena. We’re even more thrilled that it’s our first location in the state. Get ready to go BIG, Baltimore!”

Located one block away from the Baltimore Convention Center and on the corner of Baltimore Street and Hopkins Place, the newly renovated CFG Bank Arena is a multipurpose venue that welcomes fans and artists for concerts, sporting events and more. Big Chicken offerings at the new location include the M.D.E. Chicken (Shaq Sauce, chicken breast and B&B Pickles), Uncle Jerome (Nashville hot chicken, mayo and pickles), as well as other concessions items.
