Raising Canes By State

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, the American fast-food chain known for its high-quality chicken fingers, has seen significant expansion since its founding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana by Todd Graves and Craig Silvey in 1996. Named after Graves' pet Labrador, the restaurant chain has made its mark as a favorite among Americans and continues to leave its footprint in many states across the nation.

• Texas leads the nation with a staggering 167 Raising Canes locations, considerably more than any other state.
• California is the second leading state with 73 locations, showing the restaurant chain's growth beyond the Southern U.S. and hinting at potential large-scale growth in other areas of the U.S. as well. 
• Louisiana, the home state of Raising Canes, ranks third with 66 stores. Despite being the birthplace of the brand, it does not house the most branches, indicating how Raising Canes has managed to expand far beyond its original homefront. 
• Out of the top ten states housing Raising Canes stores, four are located west of the Mississippi River, three are in the Midwest, and three are in the South, showing the brand's geographic expansion across various U.S. regions.
