Raising Cane’s Celebrates Grand Opening In Eagan

EAGAN, MN — Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, the Louisiana-based restaurant company, is set to open its first Eagan restaurant on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 1525 Central Parkway. The new restaurant will kick off its grand opening festivities at 8:30 a.m., with a "Lucky 20" drawing to award 20 customers ages 13 and older free Cane’s for a year.

Eagan’s new Raising Cane’s will accept entries from 8:30-9 a.m., with the Lucky 20 drawing between 9-10 a.m. "Caniacs" must be present to win, according to a news release.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce begins at 9 a.m. To add to the excitement, Eagan High School cheerleaders will be onsite to pump up the opening day crowd. Raising Cane’s will also present a check donation to Feed My Starving Children during the ceremony.

First-time visitors will be treated to traditional cheers and other high-energy chants to launch the location in unique Cane’s fashion, compliments of its 65 newly hired crewmembers. In addition, the first 100 dine-in customers ages 13 and older to purchase a Combo meal will receive a free limited-edition Cane’s T-shirt, along with a voucher for a free Box Combo – containing four fresh, never ever frozen chicken fingers, Texas toast, secret recipe Cane’s sauce, coleslaw, crinkle-cut fries and a drink – that may be redeemed on a subsequent visit.

"We’ve assembled an incredible crew and the new restaurant is in a great location, close to the TCO Performance Center," said General Manager Travis Geving in a statement.

"We look forward to continuing our work with the city of Eagan in addition to getting even more involved with local schools and organizations, and we can’t wait to become an integral part of the community."

Eagan’s new Raising Cane’s will be open every day from 10 a.m. to midnight. The new restaurant marks the 10th Raising Cane’s in Minnesota and 462nd system-wide.
