Raising Cane's opening new locations in 6 states in August. Here's where.
Raising Cane's is continuing its expansion this summer. After opening five new restaurants in July, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based chain known for its chicken fingers said in a statement to USA TODAY it is opening seven more locations across six states in August, including its first restaurant in the Long Beach, California area. Other states getting new locations include Florida, Wisconsin and Maryland, among others, Raising Cane's said in an emailed statement on July 28. Here's what to know about this month's Raising Cane's openings. Which states are getting new Raising Cane's locations? New restaurants are scheduled to open at the following locations on the following dates, according to the chain: Aug. 5: 323 William S Canning Blvd., Fall River, Massachusetts Aug. 5: 2742 Tyrone Blvd N., St. Petersburg, Florida Aug. 7: 1850 Oakland Ave., Indiana, Pennsylvania Aug. 12: 1741 Claribel Rd., Riverbank, California Aug. 19: 6803 Ritchie Hwy., Glen Burnie, Maryland Aug. 19: 3740 WI-16, La Crosse, Wisconsin Aug. 26: 119 E. Carson St., Long Beach, California What is Raising Cane's? The company sells chicken sandwiches and chicken finger combos including crinkle-cut fries, Texas Toast, coleslaw and Cane's sauce, which the company says is made with a "special blend of spices." Raising Cane's owner Todd Graves initially planned to call his restaurant Sockeye's, a nod to the salmon he once fished in Alaska. However, a friend suggested he name the company after his yellow Labrador Retriever, Raising Cane, who spent lots of time at the construction site of the first Raising Cane's location at the north gates of Louisiana State University. The dog, Cane I, served as the company's mascot until he died in 1998, according to the chain. He was friendly and loved to wear Graves' sunglasses. Raising Cane's second mascot, Cane II, stepped into her role in 1999. She was a therapy dog who visited hospital patients around the country. As the company mascot, Cane II spent time at the company's Restaurant Support Office and attended community events until 2016. Most recently, Cane III, born in 2017, was appointed mascot. "She loves visiting Raising Cane's Restaurants and receiving belly rubs from crewmembers," the company said, noting that Raising Cane's fans can follow her on social media at @RaisingCane3.
