Raising Cane’s To Open 1st CT Location In Enfield: Reports

ENFIELD, CT — The state's first Raising Cane’s will be located at 90 Elm St. in Enfield, according to multiple media reports.

More locations are also planned across Connecticut, including Hartford, Simsbury and New Haven, WTNH News 8 reported. The only other location in New England currently is in Boston, Mass.

If you're not familiar with Raising Cane's, according to its website,"Our ONE LOVE is craveable Chicken Finger meals. We use only the highest-quality ingredients with a cook-to-order system that ensures a great tasting chicken finger meal served hot and fresh every time." The company adds that it uses "NO HEAT LAMPS, MICROWAVES OR COMPROMISES."

The menu is pretty simple to navigate as it's strictly chicken fingers and there also are crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, and they do offer a chicken fingers sandwich too.

The popular eatery began in 1996 and there are currently 600 locations, and the business employs around 50,000 people.

"Todd Graves, the founder of Raising Cane’s, path to success was one filled with challenge, hard work and determination," according to the company's Facebook page. "In 1994, as a new college graduate, Graves sought out funding for his restaurant venture. Undeterred by bankers who found his idea laughable, he decided to take matters into his own hands and raise his money the old fashioned way – hard work. After working in oil refineries in California and salmon fishing off the coast of Alaska, Graves returned to Baton Rouge and opened his first restaurant in 1996 near the gates of LSU. He named the restaurant after his yellow lab, Raising Cane." Out of 2,400 reviews, it has a rating of 4.4 out of 5.

NBC CT reported that the eatery will open sometime in late 2023.
