Exciting News for Ann Arbor: Raising Cane’s Chicken Café Is Coming to Town!
Ann Arbor, Michigan, is about to get a delicious upgrade to its dining scene! Raising Cane’s, the popular fast-food chain famous for its mouthwatering chicken fingers, has announced plans to open a new restaurant in the greater metro Detroit area. Mark your calendars—this tasty location will be serving up its signature meals starting June 3, 2025.
Location, Location, Location!
The new Raising Cane’s will set up shop at 1116 South University Avenue, just a stone’s throw southeast of the Diag. That means easy access for students, locals, and anyone craving some crispy chicken fingers paired with crinkle cut fries and that oh-so-delicious Cane’s sauce! It’s the perfect place to grab a quick bite, whether you’re on your way to class or enjoying a weekend in the lively area.
What’s Cooking?
Raising Cane’s has made a name for itself with a straightforward yet delightful menu that primarily features chicken fingers. What else can you expect? Well, customers can also dig into coleslaw and, of course, those irresistible crinkle cut fries that have everyone coming back for more. And let’s not forget the star of the show—the signature Cane’s sauce that is perfect for dipping, drenching, and devouring!
First Impressions Matter!
This new restaurant comes on the heels of Raising Cane’s recent success in the area. Earlier this year, the chain opened its first location in Metro Detroit in Canton, and the buzz has only been growing. Currently, the only other Raising Cane’s in Michigan is in East Lansing, which opened its doors in 2022. With Ann Arbor joining the lineup, fans of the franchise can grab their favorites closer to home.
A Hub for Dining and Fun
Raising Cane’s will be an anchor tenant in the newly constructed Vic Village South high-rise, a 13-story building that’s sure to become a local hotspot. Joining the ranks will be another exciting eatery—BO’s Bagels—which is set to open its doors in mid-March 2025. With all these amazing food options in one place, we’re in for a treat!
Grand Opening Shenanigans
To ramp up the excitement for the June 3 grand opening, Raising Cane’s has something special in store. The first 20 customers will be rewarded with free Raising Cane’s for a whole year! Talk about a tasty incentive to wake up early and be among the first to get your hands on those crispy chicken fingers!
Growing Nationwide
As if that wasn’t enough news, it’s worth noting that Raising Cane’s is on a roll! With over 800 locations spread across the country, they opened more than 100 new restaurants in 2024 alone. This expansion reflects a broader trend of people flocking to the brand, thanks to its focus on high-quality ingredients and a fun dining experience. It’s amazing to think that this beloved chain started back in 1996 in Louisiana, and it has since gained a dedicated following everywhere it goes.
Future Plans in Michigan
Although there were previously plans for another Raising Cane’s in Chesterfield Township, Macomb County, those plans have been shelved for now. But with Ann Arbor on board, it looks like this chicken chain is committed to growing in Michigan!
So, whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Raising Cane’s, get ready for some finger-licking fun at the new Ann Arbor location. June 3, 2025, can’t come soon enough!
