Raising Cane's is headed to Philly this week for the first of a series of restaurants in the region. Here’s what you need to know.
goes, huge crowds follow, and the much-buzzed-about fast-food chicken-finger chain is headed to Philadelphia this week for the first of a series of restaurants in the region.
Raising Cane’s will open May 12 at 3925 Walnut St. in University City at the Radian building, one of 100 to 110 new locations expected to open in 10 U.S. markets in 2022. Fourteen are scheduled for Pennsylvania, and three for New Jersey. Sales this year are projected at $3 billion from what will be about 700 units.
The company, founded in 1996 in Baton Rouge, La., by entrepreneur Todd Graves and an early partner, calls its adherents Cainiacs.Raising Cane’s only sells never-frozen, hand-breaded, cooked-to-order chicken fingers , crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, Cane’s sauce, and fountain drinks. No burgers, no tacos, no salads, no shakes, no fish, no grilled items. Not even a “spicy” option. The menu has not varied.
Graves and Silvey needed $100,000 to $150,000. They took high-paying but dangerous jobs to raise it. They came back to Louisiana, found a location , picked up the remainder of the seed money in loans from friends and the Small Business Administration, and opened the first restaurant in August 1996. Graves was 24. He bought out Silvey in 1999. Most of the locations are company-owned, not franchises.They initially wanted to call it Sockeye’s after the foray into fishing. Graves changed course and settled on Raising Cane, his yellow Lab. The dog also became the company mascot.
