A national fast-food restaurant specializing in chicken fingers, sauces, and sesame-seeded bread is on track to build 100 new stores nationally before the end of this year.
Launched in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1966, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers as of this spring had opened nearly 620 locations.
Earlier this year, the company, which had more than $1.5 billion in revenue in 2020, said it wanted to open outlets in ten regional markets across the country.
Those new stores have been going up in California, Indiana, Nevada, and Texas, among other states.
The company has additionally just announced that it wants to establish 5 new stores in metro Albuquerque in the next year.
Raising Cane stores are either newly built or carved into an existing structures. They generally measure around 2,500 to 3,000 square feet, although some locations have been substantially larger.
Earlier this spring, the company opened an 8,500 square foot store in New York City at the corner of W. 44th Street and Broadway.
The company’s new 62,000 square foot headquarters in Plano, Texas, comprises 3 stories and houses smart conference rooms and a courtyard with wood decking and both a fire and water feature.
