Big Chicken

ICYMI: This school year, there’s a new BIG chicken on campus at Emory University. 🐔 Our first-ever university location in Cox Hall isn’t just a win for hungry students and faculty (though they’re in for some BIG flavor) — it’s the kickoff to our college & university growth strategy, bringing Shaq-sized eats to campuses nationwide with MVPs Claudia Melella and Cassie Miller, CHT running point. Stay tuned for many more campus openings ahead. 👏 #GoBIGEagles
