How Raising Cane's Came to Be
The Dream
Some people dream of being astronauts, some people want to be president. Todd Graves, our Founder, dreamed of opening an amazing Chicken Finger Restaurant.
Chasing the Dream
His dream soon became his passion. Even though his business plan received the lowest grade in the class and every bank he met with told him his idea wouldn't work, he was more determined than ever.
Risky Business
Undeterred, he set off on a course to earn the money himself, working 90-hour weeks in an oil refinery in Los Angeles and commercial fishing in Alaska. It was hard and sometimes dangerous work, but it paid off.
The First Restaurant
With his hard-earned money and a little help from the friends he made along the way, he began building the first Raising Cane's at the North Gates of LSU in Baton Rouge - Now known as The Mothership.
Why the Name?
When considering names for the Restaurant, Todd decided to honor his beloved yellow Lab, Raising Cane, whose name is a combination of having fun and sugar cane.
Opening Day
On August 28th, 1996, the first location opened. It was the start of Todd’s commitment to serve craveable Chicken Finger meals, with a great Crew, cool Culture and being actively involved in the Community - a commitment that continues in every Raising Cane's today.
