Raising Cane's Holding Hiring Events For New Bensalem Restaurant

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —With its opening next month, the Raising Cane's chicken fingers chain is trying to fill positions at its second Bucks County location.

Raising Cane's is hosting a restaurant crew hiring event on Thursday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at its 3617 Horizon Blvd. location in the Trevose section of Bensalem Township near the Neshaminy Mall.

Raising Cane's said it will hire for all shifts and seeking full-time and part-time employees.

Pay begins at $15 an hour with flexible schedules available.

Other benefits include being closed for eight major holidays, earning up to $1.50 more in the first year through development and evaluations, advancement opportunities, uniforms, meal discounts and tuition assistance.

Raising Cane's posted that it is seeking cooks, cashiers, customer service associates and restaurant crew members. Interested applicants can apply here.

The location is expected to open on Jan. 10, said Bob Norkus, executive director of the Bensalem Economic Development Corp.

Norkus said he recently took a tour of the operation and met restaurant leader Tom Gisondi.

"Tom told me that a good culture is at the heart of the recruitment of staff and we at the Bensalem Economic Development Corp. completely understand that culture is the secret to successful recruitment, selection, hiring, and retention," Norkus said. "So if you are in the market for a great place to work, stop by the restaurant on Horizon Blvd. and ask for Tom."

Raising Cane's other Bucks County location is at 640 Commerce Blvd. in Fairless Hills. That location opened in late September.

Like most Raising Cane's, the 3,331-square-foot restaurant will include indoor seating and two drive-thru lanes with parking.

The Bensalem Township Council had approved a land development deal for the Horizon Boulevard site where Bertucci’s was once located.

The chain has two locations in Philadelphia and one at State College.

The Louisiana-based chicken chain operates more than 500 sites throughout the country.
