Shaquille has his hands in many money-making schemes businesses and one of his latest ventures, the fast-food restaurant, Big Chicken, has already come to Washington state three times over.

Discover Shaq's Big Chicken: More Than Seattle Kraken's Secret

Last year, a colleague told me that when he went to the Seattle Kraken game, he saw Shaq's Big Chicken restaurant. I didn't even know Shaq had his own fast food chain until that point, so I thought the only Big Chicken location in Washington state was at Climate Pledge Arena.

From Vegas to Washington State

Come to find out, there are actually three (3) places we can get some of Shaq's Big Chicken. Did you know about these other two locations? Now a fourth one is about to open up shop sometime this Fall, according to the Big Chicken's website.

Big Chicken is a fast food chain started in 2018 by Shaq and a team of partners in Vegas, thus creating its first location across from the Virgin Hotels and Hofbräuhaus Bavarian Restaurant. Not being satisfied with being an investor in Papa Johns franchises, Shaq joins the slew of celebrities like Venus Williams, Drake, Danny Trejo, Jimmy Buffet, Rick Ross, Lady Gaga, and Phil Mickelson branching out their portfolios to include more fast food restaurant chains and restaurants in America.

The menu features categories of Mains, Sides, and Sweets. Sides include items like Jalapeno Slaw and Dirty Fries (which is a combination of cheese sauce, bacon, banana peppers, chipotle barbecue sauce). The Sweets look tempting with shakes, ice cream sandwiches, and cookies that look as big as Shaq's head (hee, hee)!
