Small Cheval, Stan’s Donuts and Shaq’s Big Chicken coming to Rosemont in 2022

The Village of Rosemont will be adding a trio of dining offerings in the fall of 2022 with the opening of Small Cheval, Stan’s Donuts and Big Chicken. Rosemont will be the first suburban location for Small Cheval, the ever-popular Chicago burger establishment.

A casual, fast-paced joint, Small Cheval is known for serving a stripped-down menu of cheeseburgers, hamburgers and fries alongside shakes, draft cocktails and beer. The 4,500-square-foot restaurant will feature a retractable roof to accommodate in-restaurant dining year-round, as well as drive-thru and pickup lanes allowing guests to place food orders in advance.

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s fast casual chicken restaurant, Big Chicken, will also be opening in fall 2022, marking the chain’s first Midwest location. Expect a menu that fuses home-cooked childhood favorites with bold new flavors.

All three restaurants will be located at 9421 W. Higgins Road.
