Fried chicken is taking over the fast food world. People can’t seem to get enough chicken sandwiches and tenders, so chains like Dave’s Hot Chicken and Chick-fil-A are constantly busy. Another chicken chain, Raising Cane’s, is so popular that it’s opening new locations every month. Here’s the latest batch of openings, where you’ll be able to get your fill of Cane’s sauce by the end of the year.
Why Is Raising Cane’s Opening New Locations?
People can’t get enough of chicken tenders, and that’s what Raising Cane’s specializes in. It’s the only main dish on the menu, really, along with fries, Texas toast, and slaw. When a new location opens, people line up to be one of the first through the door. There are always celebrations and giveaways to accompany it.
Raising Cane’s has a long-term goal of operating 1,600 locations nationwide by the end of 2030. This year, the company has opened dozens of new restaurants, so it’s well on its way to achieving that goal over the next five years.
New Raising Cane’s Locations Opening in December
Raising Cane’s is opening 14 new locations in December across the country. The restaurants will span 11 states, and they’ll all open in the beginning to the middle of the month.
There are two new ‘firsts’ this month for Cane’s as well. It’ll open its first restaurant in Iowa, and it’ll open its first location in a theme park at Universal CityWalk in California, according to USA Today.
