Shaquille O'Neal’s Big Chicken Opens at Jackson State University

The new location at 1400 John R. Lynch St. operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., serving a range of items including signature sandwiches like the Shaq Attack and Nashville Hot, alongside breakfast biscuits and hand-spun shakes. This expansion represents the fourth university site for the Craveworthy Brands portfolio, which is aggressively growing its footprint across North American campuses, arenas, and airports.

Jackson State President Denise Jones Gregory noted that the addition aligns with the university's push for a more modern and diverse dining experience. For the brand, the move is a strategic fit for the campus's high-energy athletic culture and research-focused environment. SodexoMAGIC, the joint venture between Sodexo and Earvin "Magic" Johnson, continues to manage the facility, emphasizing a commitment to bringing high-profile, quality dining options to the academic community.
