dpRaising Cane’s is winging its way to 10 states this month.
The seasoned fried chicken chain has said cluck yeah to 12 new locations across the states — with two opening up on Nov. 2. The Louisiana-based brand — known for its chicken fingers, Cane’s Sauce and Texas toast — will set up shop in new areas like Brick, New Jersey, Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Currently, the chicken joint is slinging its dishes across 1,000 locations in the US with most nestled in Texas with 201 stores, followed by California with 147, Louisiana holding 63 and 65 in Ohio.
“Opening 12 new restaurants in November is another exciting milestone in Raising Cane’s continued growth as we expand our footprint to even more communities across the country,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to Nation’s Restaurant News.
“From highly anticipated openings in new markets like Sioux Falls, Brick and Fayetteville to growing our presence in communities nationwide, we’re continuing to establish Cane’s as a go-to destination for Craveable Chicken Fingers from coast to coast.”
The full list of new openings will be in New Jersey, North Carolina, South Dakota, Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and Utah.

Some of which included Wisconsin, Oregon and Georgia.
“Caniacs” helped to make the chicken joint the 16th largest chain by sales, shortly after its founder, Todd Graves, publicly shared his personal goal was to become a top 10 restaurant brand in the US.
Fans are hyped about the new locations, hitting up social media to praise the chain.
“Their chicken fingers are top tier, not hard and crunchy like most places and the Texas toast is very good as well,” a user on Facebook wrote.
Another fans simply praised the chain, calling it a “Must try.”
