Shaquille O'Neal's fast-food chicken chain — aptly named Big Chicken — has signed a lease agreement for a space at Peabody's Northshore Mall, the mall's management company said.

The franchise hopes to open the location by Spring 2024. The restaurant will be located at 210 Andover Street on the mall's exterior near Legal Sea Foods. 

This will be the first Big Chicken restaurant in Massachusetts, but the company has plans for several more. 

The fast food chain signed an agreement with Paul Bains and Ryan Corcoran earlier this year to open six Big Chicken locations in the Boston area. 

"Ryan and I were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and timeliness of the Big Chicken team from the get-go," Bains said in a company press release in April. "We've been business partners for several years, and only recently began researching franchise opportunities. When we came across Big Chicken, we knew that we wanted to get in on the booming chicken segment and had looked into several concepts. I spoke with the corporate team and then had the opportunity to try the brand's BIG sandwiches in Vegas. From there, the decision was made. We're thrilled to share that we're bringing BIG flavor, BIG food, and BIG fun to Greater Boston."

Big Chicken has plans for 250 locations across the United States. The brand currently has stores in 14 states.
