Cluck-U Chicken

Cluck-U Chicken (also known as "Cluck University") is a fast food restaurant which specializes in serving chicken. Most of their locations are in the states of Maryland and New Jersey, but there are locations in Pennsylvania^[1] as well as one location in Ohio and one international location in Lebanon.^[2] Apparently there were previously several other locations, including Delaware, Florida, and Washington, D.C.^[3] Most of the locations are near or on college campuses.

History

Cluck-U Chicken was started by Robert Ilvento in 1985 when he was a sophomore in college. The first location was in New Brunswick, New Jersey at Rutgers University.

In 2000, JP Haddad acquired the rights to develop the franchise nationally, while Ilvento began to promote the business. The goal of the founders is to "Have a Cluck-U Chicken restaurant on every college campus and in every city in the U.S., and later, the world."^[who?]

Products

Cluck-U Chicken (a.k.a. "Cluck") serve chicken wings ("wingers") with a variety of traditional sauces including Honey-Hickory and spicy sauces on the scale Mild, Atomic, Nuclear, Thermo-Nuclear and 911. At some locations where the "911" sauce is served, customers must sign a liability waiver.^[3]

Other products include chicken sandwiches ("Cluckwiches"), "hot bites" and various forms of fried chicken and chicken fingers.
