Cluck-U Chicken

Cluck-U Chicken, also known as Cluck University, is an American quick-serve restaurant chain which specializes in serving chicken. Most of their locations are in the U.S. states of Maryland and New Jersey, but there are locations in Pennsylvania as well as one location in Ohio and one international location in Lebanon, Kuwait, and the UAE. Apparently there were previously several other locations, including Delaware, Florida, and Washington, D.C. as well as a location in Fort Collins,CO. Most of the locations are near or on college campuses.

While most locations are franchises, Cluck-U also operates corporate-owned stores, featuring a more limited menu, under the name "Cluckster's."

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 Prithvi in the U.S., and later, the world."
