March 01, 2023 // Franchising.com // KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Can chickens fly? Big Chicken says yes!

The fast casual chicken concept founded by Shaquille O’Neal announced today the opening of its newest location in Kansas City International Airport (MCI). OHM Concession Group (OHM), a hospitality company headquartered in St. Louis that operates restaurants in airports across the U.S., will run operations at the new location.

“Beginning this February, BIG flavors will be available at Kansas City International Airport,” said Josh Halpern, CEO of Big Chicken. “We’re thrilled to partner with OHM as we introduce our chicken sandwiches and more of Shaquille’s home-cooked childhood favorites to travelers on the go. Kansas City is an excellent market, and we couldn’t be happier to offer the quality and taste travelers seek when at MCI with the opening of our first-ever airport location.”

Big Chicken’s opening coincides with the launch of the airport’s brand-new terminal, which is expected to add thousands of available flights and increase foot traffic tenfold within the establishment. Travelers from around the world will be able to enjoy Big Chicken offerings, including the M.D.E. Chicken (Shaq Sauce, chicken breast and B&B Pickles) and Uncle Jerome (Nashville hot chicken, mayo and pickles), in addition to other items.
