Shaquille O'Neal is adding another restaurant to his business empire.

The NBA Hall of Famer, in partnership with JRS Hospitality, is set to open a restaurant called Big Chicken near the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas later this year, according to Wade Tyler Millward of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He also plans to film a reality show for Facebook about the restaurant.

Big Chicken is expected to open around October.

O'Neal told Yahoo Finance in 2016 that his business ventures included the ownership of 20 Krispy Kreme locations, several Las Vegas clubs, and, at one point, more than 155 Five Guys restaurants.
