Raising Cane’s is expecting a busy November, with 12 new restaurant openings planned across the country, including new market debuts in Brick, New Jersey; Fayetteville, North Carolina; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Additional openings will be in Utah, Florida, Michigan, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Florida, and Alabama.
“Opening 12 new Restaurants in November is another exciting milestone in Raising Cane’s continued growth as we expand our footprint to even more communities across the country. From highly anticipated openings in new markets like Sioux Falls, Brick and Fayetteville to growing our presence in communities nationwide, we’re continuing to establish Cane’s as a go-to destination for Craveable Chicken Fingers from coast to coast,” a company spokesperson said in a statement.
Notably, this will nearly double the pace of restaurant openings in October, which included seven new restaurants from Wisconsin to Oregon to Georgia.
The chain also opened seven new restaurants in August as it marked its 30th anniversary and, in July, Raising Cane’s opened five new restaurants. Also, in June, Raising Cane’s opened its first airport restaurant, located at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport’s Gate B19 in Terminal B.
The company has been on a remarkable growth trajectory throughout the past several years, including a 32% sales increase in 2024. In 2025, sales were up 10.6%, while unit count was up 10.3% to finish with $5.48 billion and 913 locations, according to Technomic. It is now the 16th largest chain by sales, jumping two spots from 2024 and 30 spots from 2018, when it had $1.18 billion in sales and 400 locations. Founder Todd Graves has publicly stated that the goal is to become a top 10 restaurant brand in the U.S.
