Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is a US fast-food chicken-finger chain with around 950 locations across 43 states, founded in 1996 in Baton Rouge Louisiana by Todd Graves at age 24 (still privately held with Graves as CEO), known for the ONE LOVE tagline (only one menu category, chicken fingers), the secret-recipe Cane’s Sauce, the Box Combo signature, Texas toast and crinkle-cut fries, and the chain name itself which honors Graves’s yellow Labrador Retriever named Cane.
The questions readers actually ask: what time does Raising Cane’s open today, when does the kitchen close, how late do the flagship stores stay open, are they open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, and Sunday hours.
Two Raising Cane’s specific things worth knowing: most stores run 10:00 AM to midnight or 1:00 AM with flagship and entertainment-district stores extending dramatically later (the Highland Rd “Mothership” in Baton Rouge runs to 3:30 AM Thu-Sat, Vegas Strip “The Jackpot” runs to 4:00 AM Fri-Sat, Times Square Manhattan runs to 3:00 AM with a walk-up window in place of drive-thru, Wrigleyville Chicago runs to 3:30 AM Fri-Sat); and the chain is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Easter Sunday so crew can spend the holiday with family (Southeast chicken-finger competitor Zaxby’s stays open Easter and follows a more standard fast-food holiday pattern). Chicken-cluster peer Chick-fil-A follows a different all-Sundays-closed pattern that Cane’s does not share.

What is on the Raising Cane's menu?
Raising Cane's serves only one main category: chicken fingers. The full menu is the Box Combo (4 fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, sweet tea or lemonade), a 3-finger combo, a kids combo, the Caniac Combo (6 fingers), sandwiches (chicken finger sandwich), Cane's Sauce on the side, plus crinkle-cut fries and drinks a la carte. No breakfast, no salads, no other proteins. The ONE LOVE tagline references this menu simplicity.
Why is Raising Cane's named Cane's?
The chain is named after founder Todd Graves's yellow Labrador Retriever, named Cane. Graves opened the original Highland Rd Baton Rouge store in 1996 at age 24, near LSU. The bank initially rejected his business plan as "the dumbest concept they had ever heard" because of the menu simplicity (chicken fingers only). Graves funded the original store working as a boilermaker and a salmon fisherman in Alaska.
