February 13, 2023 // Franchising.com // The countdown is on for a new era in restaurant operations. Shaquille O’Neal-Owned Big Chicken and Blue Origin are teaming up to feed the imaginations of the next generation of explorers for the benefit of Earth and space chicken.

Blue Origin’s nonprofit, Club for the Future, will partner with Big Chicken’s leadership team and founder Shaquille O’Neal as Club Ambassadors to inspire and engage students. Club for the Future will launch new community outreach programs at Big Chicken restaurants, including inviting patrons to draw their vision of the future on Postcards to Space. Blue Origin will fly the postcards on a future New Shepard mission, stamp them “flown to space,” and return them to the creators.

“Living and working in space for the benefit of Earth should be delicious. Shaq’s Big Chicken and Club for the Future will fuel students’ appetites and minds as they pursue careers in STEM – all while delivering some of Earth’s tastiest foods to space,” said Michael Edmonds, SVP, Strategy, Marketing, and Sales, Blue Origin, and President of Club for the Future.

“I’m proud to team up with Blue Origin to help inspire the next generation,” said Shaquille O’Neal, who opened the first Big Chicken location in 2018. “This first-of-its-kind partnership is a game changer and I’m excited to take the chicken sandwich game to a whole new level.”
