In S1E18: Numbers, Hurley is shown in flashback wearing a uniform and eating chicken. Though Mr. Clucks isn't directly referenced, this is our first glimpse of the fictional fast-food enterprise.
In S2E1: Man of Science, Man of Faith, Hurley tells Jack about the "chicken joint" he worked at which got hit by a meteor, blaming it on his supposed curse after winning the lottery playing the cursed numbers seen on the hatch.
In S2E4: Everybody Hates Hugo, we actually see Hurley in flashback working at Mr. Clucks behind the counter. His boss is Randy, whom we've also seen working at the box company with Locke. We learn their slogan is 'Have a Cluckety, Cluck, Cluck Day". After being accused of eating chicken on the job, Hurley, who's already won the lottery, tells Randy that he quits.
In S2E18: Dave, Hurley mentions working at Mr. Clucks.
In S3E10: Tricia Tanaka is Dead, during a news interview, we learn Hurley had bought a Mr. Clucks franchise and was preparing for the grand opening in Diamond Bar (a suburb of LA), along with his new employee and former boss Randy. As the news crew goes inside to shoot some footage, a meteorite falls from the sky a destroys the new Mr. Clucks killing the newscaster Tricia Tanaka and her cameraman.
The footage for the scene was shot in Hawaii using a real life fast food chicken franchise called Popeyes. You can also visit a website set up for fictional Mr. Clucks. |
