If chicken fingers are part of your regular rotation, you’ll have a few more places to grab them soon. New Raising Cane’s locations will open by the end of October, and your zip code might be on the list.
What Is Raising Cane’s Working On?
Raising Cane’s is opening six locations on the East Coast, including new locations in Washington, D.C., and Delaware.

Raising Cane’s has been on an aggressive growth path for several years. The company said it’s on track to open nearly 100 new locations by the end of 2025. Executives have framed the push as a way to “serve even more communities across the country,” with a heavy focus on East Coast markets where the brand is still relatively new.
