Isn't the bigger question is whether or not the team went to chicken express after silver taps.

yea, they proudly display that on a sign

The stores in Lubbock are.

I did not know this.

That's because Lubbock is a long way from Ireland.

I'm pretty sure Clyde Torkel owns it.

May we assume that he is in turn Aggie owned and operated by Ray Childress?

They have Chicken Express up in Norman (OK). I never saw anything Aggie related at that one back when I was in high school.

I miss the Chicken E

is chicken express a franchise...maybe the franchisee in College Station are Ags..but that does not mean every chicken express is Aggie owned

I think Aggie has it right

it is a franchise, an Aggie owns the ones in College Station. i don't know if an Aggie owns the whole name, though

how i miss the 'spress. best sweet tea around.

The restaurant chain was established in 1988 in Benbrook, Texas, as part of the Stuart Group, Inc., formed by Richard and Nancy Stuart.

Yes, it is aggie owned and operated. He and his wife own the locations in College Station. Great success story, he was a Sigma Nu as well.

so is it just the loca b/cs locations that are aggie owned?

To clarify, the one in Norman has OU stuff all over it.

I'm guessing it is not aggie-operated.

Love the fountain Dublin Dr. Pepper.

I miss that place.

That honor has definately been bestowed on Bush's Chicken.

Even if the one in Norman were Aggie-owned, I would hope the guy would have enough business acumen to put OU crap up everywhere.

It's good for business.

hell if i owned a business like that in austin i would put longhorn stuff up all over the place..but if i owned a place like that in lubbock..i'd probably keep it generic...

this thread makes me hungry for some nasty chicken

True!

^ And the best thing is you can buy it in JUGS.

Don't think all stores are Ag owned.

Aggie was right in saying that the College Station locations are Aggie Owned and Operated. Both the owner and his wife are Ags.

The Chicken Express Corporation is not Aggie Owned and Operated.

HTH

Their tea sucks ass.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe that one or both of the Stuarts, as well as their son, went to tech. Its been a while since Ive seen them so I could be way off, but I know that a lot of the people that they go around are either Ags or Raiders. The Chicken Es down here are actually owned by my cousins' brother and sister in law and I live around the Stuarts so I consider myself to have more inside information than the fish pond manager on this issue.

who is the fish pond manager?

the fish pond manager takes care of the official cloned maroon a&m goldfish

To clarify, the two College Station stores, as well as Magnolia and Taylor, are owned by Aggies, Clayton and Jana Rhoades. Clayton is Class of '94 and Jana is Class of '97. The Stuarts, who own the Franchise, are not Aggies (although I'm sure they wish they were!!!). Their son went to TCU. The couple that owns the Lubbock stores are half Aggie half red raider. Hopefully this clarifies the above questions. Gig'em Chicken E!!!

Man I was just trying to make a dumb joke based on the ad. Everyone got all serious on me. WTF?
