History

Cluck-U Chicken was started by Robert Ilvento[5] in 1985. The first location was in New Brunswick, New Jersey at Rutgers University.[6] Ilvento sold the business in 1999.[7]

In 2000, JP Haddad acquired the rights to develop the franchise nationally, while Ilvento began to promote the business.
