Ann Arbor is set to welcome its first Raising Cane’s restaurant on Tuesday, September 16, at 1116 S. University Avenue, just a stone's throw from the University of Michigan's iconic Big House.

This marks the third Michigan location for the renowned chicken finger chain, following successful openings in East Lansing and Canton. The Ann Arbor establishment is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the spirit and traditions of the University of Michigan community.

Before the doors officially open at 10 a.m., patrons are invited to partake in a morning filled with exciting giveaways and festivities:

“Lucky 20” Drawing: Twenty lucky customers aged 13 and above will win Free Cane’s for a Year. Entries are accepted from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., and participants must be present to win.

First 100 Combos: The first 100 dine-in customers to purchase a combo meal will receive a commemorative hat and a free Box Combo card, available one per combo while supplies last.

Customer No. 1 Perks: The very first customer in line will be honored with a special gift basket and a warm welcome from the Raising Cane’s crew.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: A formal ribbon-cutting event with the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce is scheduled around 8:10 a.m.

The restaurant's operating hours are tailored to accommodate both early birds and night owls:

Sunday–Wednesday: 10 a.m. – 2 a.m.

Thursday–Saturday: 10 a.m. – 3 a.m.

Raising Cane’s is renowned for its focus on quality chicken finger meals, complemented by crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and their signature Cane’s sauce. The Ann Arbor location aims to provide a welcoming environment for students, locals, and visitors alike.

In preparation for the grand opening, the restaurant is actively hiring over 140 crew members for various positions. Prospective applicants can find more information and apply online or in person at the new location through September 5, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. Benefits for employees include medical coverage, flexible scheduling, and education discounts.

As Raising Cane’s continues its expansion across Michigan, the Ann Arbor opening signifies a commitment to bringing their beloved chicken finger meals to more communities. Future locations are planned in Sterling Heights and Grandville, further solidifying the brand's presence in the state.
