Event Details
Big Chicken is serving up a BIG new reason for Tampa to come hungry and ready to play. The fast casual chicken brand will celebrate the grand opening of its first location inside Elev8 Fun (“Elev8”) at Citrus Park Town Center on Friday, November 13 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Located at 7902 Citrus Park Town Center Mall, the location puts Big Chicken’s stacked sandwiches, crispy tenders and signature sides steps away from go-kart racing, bowling, laser tag and arcade games. Elev8 and Big Chicken are going BIG for the celebration. The first 100 guests in line will get a free three-piece order of chicken tenders and a complimentary play on the game of their choice. The celebration will also feature a live DJ and Big Chicken Pop-A-Shot.
“Big Chicken is about BIG Food, BIG Fun and showing BIG Love to the communities we serve,” said Gregg Majewski, CEO of Big Chicken. “At Elev8, that means gathering around a craveworthy meal, getting a little competitive and making memories with family and friends. We’re putting that fun spirit into the Tampa celebration.”
Elev8 is a Florida-based family entertainment company that transforms large-scale retail spaces into indoor adventure parks. Its 125,000-square-foot Tampa destination brings together attractions for family outings, birthday parties and team celebrations, with Big Chicken giving guests a place to fuel up between activities.
Big Chicken’s menu at Elev8 features signature chicken sandwiches, including The Original, Uncle Jerome’s, Shaq Attack and The Ultimate, piled high with mac and cheese and crispy onion rings. Guests can also enjoy three- or five-piece crispy tenders, the Big Chicken Salad and craveable sides like mac and cheese, onion rings, cheese curds, coleslaw and fries.
“As Elev8 continues to expand, we need a brand and food partner that understands our audiences,” said David Goldfarb, managing partner of Elev8. “Big Chicken’s larger-than-life personality is a natural match for our parks, and its menu gives families another reason to spend time together here. It’s the kind of bold experience we want to offer across our locations.”
The BIG Fun will continue beyond Tampa, with additional Big Chicken locations coming soon to Elev8 near Miami and in Orlando, among others. Big Chicken has more than 40 locations open and dozens more in development across North America and beyond. The Brand continues to introduce its signature “BIG Flavor, BIG Food and BIG Fun” through arenas, airports, cruise ships, entertainment centers and traditional storefronts, all while serving its mashup of comfort food and craveworthy flavors.
Big Chicken at Elev8 Tampa is open Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
