Raising Cane’s Expands With 7 New Openings in September — Will Texas See More Soon?
TEXAS — One of America’s favorite chicken chains, Raising Cane’s, is continuing its rapid expansion with seven new restaurants opening in September 2025. While none of the September openings are in Texas, the brand has confirmed it will keep growing nationally — and with its Louisiana roots, Texans are eager to see where the next Cane’s drive-thrus will land.
Where Raising Cane’s Is Opening in September
According to the company, new restaurants are debuting this month in:
- Santa Fe Springs, CA – September 2
- San Diego, CA – September 10
- Spokane, WA – September 9
- New York (Broadway) – September 4
- Bel Air, MD – September 16
- Ann Arbor, MI – September 16
- Indianapolis, IN – September 30
These join the brand’s nearly 870 locations nationwide, and are part of Cane’s goal to reach 1,600+ restaurants in the coming years.
Inside the Menu and Experience
At each new restaurant, fans can expect Raising Cane’s signature focus:
- Crispy chicken fingers served fresh, never frozen
- Crinkle-cut fries and buttery Texas toast
- Coleslaw and the beloved Cane’s Sauce
- A simplified menu that makes chicken the star
Each location is designed to emphasize speed and consistency, with many new stores including Cane’s signature double drive-thru format to handle the heavy traffic the chain typically draws.
Author POV:
As someone who has stood in line outside Cane’s on opening week, I can tell you the hype is real. The simplicity of the menu makes every order feel consistent, and in Texas, it’s practically a rite of passage to argue over how many fingers are “enough” in a combo. With new states getting their first taste, I’d say it’s only a matter of time before we see more openings announced here.
Community Buzz and What’s Next
Raising Cane’s already has a deep footprint across Texas, with locations in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio — but the brand shows no signs of slowing down. Earlier this year, the company noted that 300 restaurants are in development nationwide, meaning Texas suburbs and mid-sized cities are strong candidates for future expansion.
Industry watchers expect Cane’s to lean on its college-town strategy, which has worked well since its first location opened near LSU in Baton Rouge in 1996. That could put Texas college hubs like College Station, Denton, or Lubbock on the list for upcoming builds.
