Growing  Chicken  Fast  Food  Company  to  Build  New  Phoenix  Location

Plans are underway for the construction of a new Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers outlet in downtown Phoenix.

The project is expected to be built at 7th Avenue and Thomas Road at the site of the former Duke Photography, a local landmark dating to the early 1950s.

As proposed, the new Raising Cane’s restaurant would include an outdoor patio and drive-through service.

Concerns have been raised regarding the demolition of the one-story Duke Photography building, which is regarded by some Phoenix residents as a historic structure.

A request for rezoning the site to allow for the building of the restaurant has been submitted to the City of Phoenix by the Raising Cane company.

Launched in Baton Rouge, Raising Cane currently has more than 750 locations nationally, the majority of which are located in the South.

But the company also has a growing presence in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.

The typical Raising Cane’s outlet measures between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. The company has been building roughly 60 new restaurants annually and announced plans earlier this year for the construction of 7 new outlets in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
