Shaquille O’Neal-Owned Big Chicken Scores Six-Unit Development Deal

"The decision to introduce this concept and the BIG fun behind everything that it does from Monroe to Tyler was easy. My partners and I are thrilled to be a part of the brand’s expansion, especially given that we have strong ties in the area." Ratlif shared.

With Ratlif’s experience managing winning teams, the locations are poised to shape Big Chicken into a focal point for local communities across their territory.
