The Story of Raising Cane’s
Raising Cane’s began in 1996 with Todd Graves, a Louisiana State University student who created a business plan for a chicken finger restaurant. He received the lowest grade in his class, but he didn’t give up. Determined to bring his idea to life, Graves worked in oil refineries and commercial fishing to raise the capital he needed. With those funds, he renovated an old building near the LSU campus and opened the first Raising Cane’s in August 1996.

What sets Raising Cane’s apart in the competitive fast-food world is its laser focus on one product: chicken fingers. Unlike other chains that continually expand their menus, Cane’s has chosen to stick with its original concept. This allows them to maintain high quality, streamline operations, and establish a strong, consistent brand identity. This strategic simplicity has been a key factor in the chain’s success.
What started as a small college-town restaurant has grown into a thriving chain with over 600 locations across the United States, and even some internationally. The combination of determination, focus, and a clear vision has made Raising Cane’s a standout example of how a seemingly simple idea can become a global success when executed with passion and persistence.
