Another perk of Raising Cane's marketing is the lack of commercial bombardment. While it is nearly impossible to sit through a 30 minute TV show and NOT see a commercial for Burger King, Wendy's, Subway and/or Dominos you rarely if ever see Raising Cane's commercials on TV. The fact that they are growing so much *without* shoving commercials down our throats is a strong indicator of sustained success

My favorite thing about Cane's is how they integrate themselves so well into the community. I knew they were from Louisiana when they first arrived but then they started sponsoring local sports leagues, high school teams, local city events, and even partnered with our local dog park to get some shade structures! Cane's may be from out of state but because of things like this they become 'locals' which I think is critical to their sustained success. Plus I love the moist chicken and the sauce!

I worked at Canes for a few years and have to say it was a positive experience. I started at the original location and worked at a few others in the area before I left. New coworkers who came from other fast food places always commented on how clean canes is when they first started. They're a good example of what happens when you take care of your employees and obsess over product quality.

When I first tried Canes, I wasn’t impressed. I thought the chicken was bland and unimpressive. Over time it really began to grow on me. Sure, it isn’t as flavorful as other chicken fingers, but you mentioned in the video that their chicken isn’t frozen, that makes *all* the difference. That first experience was years ago, when they first arrived in my area. They’ve improved since then and their chicken is great, atmosphere is great, I love Canes. Not to mention that the meals are so so filling!

the coolest thing about Canes (as someone from Baton Rogue) is that each location has a story. If you look up a location near you each restaurant has a unique identifaction number, nick name, and short description. Also the Bread and the Cane's sauce definetly make the meal. And while the chicken is a little bland (to compliment the sauce) it is always very juicy unlike most other reastaurants that sell chicken fingers.

I worked for Raising Cane's for over 5 years from the time I was 18 to my early 20s. One of the last meetings I ever attended with them was when we went to a big meetup consisting of the top dogs from all the local stores in the area, which included me as I had been there so long and learned every in-and-out of running the store despite not being management. They talked a lot about expansion and how they had an employee retire at age 40. They're an incredibly ambitious business and frankly, it really was a pretty decent job while I worked there. If they paid better, i'd have stayed.

Raising Cane's opened here in *Saudi Arabia* (specifically also Jeddah city) a long while ago, and honestly had a huge success selling their box combo offer (2 box combos for a lower price) through delivery apps And everybody loves them, perhaps the only downside currently about them is the huge price increases especially with increased country taxes $14.6 for a caniac, what!!! besides that, we still come back to it time and time again because its delicious and the vibes are awesome 😂 especially the local inspired decoration they put is something which starts some conversations and laughter

Sounded crazy to me. After numerous times driving past it, curiosity finally got the best of us, and my husband and I ended up inside, say down, took one bite of the chicken, looked up at each other with big eyes and I said “Oh….THAT’S how they are making money with only chicken fingers.” It was amazing!! And still one of our favorite places.

I moved to the Baton Rouge area in late 2008 and moved away in early 2012 (active military at the time). I watched as Raising Cane's started expanding to other states, and by the I retired and moved back to the area last year the company grew exponentially. I got to meet Todd Graves at a celebrity softball game back in 2011 or so and he seemed grounded for a successful businessman. It's been a year since moving back to Raising Cane's hometown, and I've only been once. The food is great, but I try to avoid too much fast food. Zaxbys invaded the area, and both they and Chik-Fil-A usually have locations near Raising Cane's, but as the local success story, not to mention good tasting and fast food, the latter store usually stays busy.

In mid 2020, during the height of the pandemic, I moved from West Virginia(born and raised here most of my life), to Las Vegas, for a year, until mid 2021. While I was in Las Vegas for a year(For a relationship), I had Cane's for the first time, and many times after. My god it is amazing. Was amazing. I genuinely miss living out there because I had access to it. Now if you look on Cane's locations map, theres still not a single one in West Virginia, and I have no idea why. Chicken Fingers and fries and toast and slaw is a very Southern style food thing, in my opinion, hell, evidenced by the reference to Guthrie's near the beginning of this video. So it makes sense to me that West Virginians would love it too. The only reason I can think they wouldn't come here is our smaller economy than most. Still, when it comes to great food, we come out in droves. I hope some day I get to eat Cane's again. Seems like my next chance will be soon on a road trip we're taking to Wisconsin, probably gonna stop at one on the way in Indianapolis.

Whether you just need a satisfying meal without losing too much study time, or you need to feed a whole frat party quick before things get out of hand. Because you can also get absolutely massive "tailgate packages" that include party size boxes of everything they serve plus gallon jugs of their sweet tea and lemonade (perfect for Arnold Palmers if you're goin to a party).

But also Todd graves (for all the reasons you’ve mentioned) is also a huge part of their success and between interviewing for management with their company to knowing some employees they do regally take care of them. I still live in Baton Rouge and from the one location 26 years ago to the numerous ones they have here now (over a dozen) the line is always around the building. Popeyes started right down the road in New Orleans and their stirred never have lines here like the canes do.

The two most thriving restaurants in my area are honestly RCs and Chick-fil-A. I feel like they could reach a level comparable to Chick-fil-A. They should be cautious about their menu expansions if they ever go that direction because if done wrong I feel like it could take away from the charm of the minimalist design of their current menu.

Schlitz was bought out in the 90s and now has a fraction of the market share it used to enjoy. It’s interesting to me how a beer that was once unrivaled in sales practically disappeared in such a short amount of time.

Layne's is located right across the street from the main campus, which makes it easily accessible to students. When Cane's came to town, they chose a location two units over from Layne's, where today, a Torchy's Tacos acts as a "buffer zone". Both locations have their devotees for different reasons (I preferred Cane's due to consistency and taste of the sauce - Layne's has a tendency to be too peppery), but to your point, Graves and the Cane's team hit the nail on the head when identifying a location to enter into the Bryan/College Station market. They've since opened a second area location away from Texas A&M's campus and appear to continue to thrive.

There's supposed to be ten opening in the Orlando metro area, and were supposed to at the end of 2022, but they, much like thousands of other businesses in the region, are stuck in a backlog of red tape from an absolutely overwhelmed bureaucracy and lack of construction crews available to hire. there's been such a construction boom in the area, every crew out there is pretty much already booked out for sometimes years in advance. So, I keep sitting here, waiting, craving that Cane's so damn bad, waiting to hop in on the soft opening once the first one in the area opens up finally.

It just screams COLLEGE. In fact there's a picture of Bluto from Animal House on the wall as soon as you walk in. You forgot a CRITICAL piece of information. I believe the reason they are so successful is for their tailgating package. You can purchase 100 or even 200 chicken tenders for your tailgating party, and if you know anything about Baton Rouge and LSU it's that they love Football. So everyone stocks up on Bud light (though probably not that anymore) and a Cane's Chicken finger package on top of crawfish boils. It's become a staple for football games. If you ever walk around during an LSU football game, you can't go five feet without seeing someone with a Cane's tailgate. It's become ubiquitous with LSU football.

Okay, my experience with Raising Cane's. I grew up in Indiana and moved to the Cincinnati area in 2021. A group of friends that I made early on kept raving about this place. I like chicken so I very willingly wanted to go the first time. I'm pretty impressed when I walk in. The atmosphere is awesome, seems clean, smells good - awesome. I order my chicken and sit down. I was looking forward to my first taste. I wanted to see how the chicken tasted on its own before the sauce. I have got to say that Cane's chicken is some of the most blandest tasting chicken I have ever had in my life. I've met 3 kinds of people - the people who absolutely love it, the ones who say the sauce saves the whole joint, and the ones who call it mid. The only consistency is that everyone loves the toast which I can attest to. After trying it with the sauce, I still wasn't impressed as the sauce wasn't that good either. Overall, a really underwhelming experience and I just don't understand what all the hype is. Anyways, since moving to Ohio, a few have opened up in Indiana and I couldn't be any more disappointed. Anyways, keep enjoying your mid chicken.

My thoughts exactly. Bland and basic. The sauce was needed for moisture because the strips are dry and flavorless. I don't get why people love this place. You get the same (if not better) chicken out of a Tyson bag from the grocery store. Well, to each their own I suppose.

Raising Cane's has really mastered the 'Hedgehog concept'👏

I love places with small menus because you know they pretty much perfected whatever they sell.

I went to LSU so I lived in Baton Rouge for four years and LOVED Canes while I was there - I grew up in and live in Orlando and we're FINALLY getting Canes here! I graduated LSU in 2008 and it's currently 2023 for reference

Best thing about canes is subbing that coleslaw out for an extra piece of toast

Raising Canes opened up about a year ago in my town and it is consistently packed. Personally I like Popeyes better but I can see the appeal of the simple menu.

I love Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich. I do like Caine's chicken fingers, which are a close 2nd. I would be all about a Caine's Chicken sandwich.

They opened up in my area too in the past 2 years.

I have only tried Popeyes once. I keep hearing good things about it but everyone I go too or just observe as less than friendly looking employees who look like asking your order is just a big inconvenience to them. I'm not saying be happy and smile. But don't look like you're about to spit in my food please.
