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."
