Raising Cane’s continues Georgia expansion, city of Snellville is next

Raising Cane’s , the popular fast-food chain known for its crispy chicken tender meals, is opening a new location on Scenic Highway in Snellville on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Located at 1416 Scenic Hwy N., the doors of the new restaurant will open at 10 a.m., but the grand opening celebrations start earlier with giveaways, surprise guests and a DJ.

“We’re expanding here in Gwinnett County, and Snellville is just one of the communities that’s continuing to grow. With the partnership that we’ve had between Dacula and Buford, we thought it was a great opportunity to continue to expand that throughout the county,” said Jeremy Sheffield, the regional vice president of restaurants for Raising Cane’s. “We’re here for a great relationship with our community, and we know that the people of Snellville value great quality food. We thought that it would be a perfect fit for our next location here in the Peach State.”

The grand opening will feature various giveaways, the first being a drawing where 20 customers aged 13 and older who show up to the restaurant between 7-9 a.m. can win free Cane’s for a year. To show their appreciation for teachers, the first 50 teachers who show their school identification beginning at 4 p.m. will win a free swag bag. The first 100 dine-in customers who purchase a combo will win a commemorative beanie and a free box combo gift card they can cash in during a return visit.

The team will also present a check to Exceptional Futures, a nonprofit organization empowering programs for adults with special needs while supporting parents in their journey of caregiving.

It’ll mark the fifth Georgia location for the chain which operates on the slogan of “One Love.” The menu is a simple combo of what it does best: chicken tenders with a combo of fries, toast, coleslaw, and its Cane’s sauce. The simplicity of the menu and its marketing has drawn a loyal group of customers, especially in Georgia. One example of that loyalty is seen from the line of cars that snake the roads of its Athens location during game days and on a regular weekend.

As for opening a location in the heart of Atlanta? Sheffield said those waiting for the chain to open a restaurant within the city limits will be awarded as they’re currently looking at two sites in Midtown and Buckhead. The Georgia expansion continues with locations planned for McDonough, Conyers and Duluth.

With a new location comes a new community of customers, and Sheffield said first-timers can expect quality food delivered with speed and emphasized by a great culture.

“We have a great culture here, and I think the connection that our crew members have with our customers is second to none. We’re just excited to be here in Snellville.”

The restaurant will be open from 10 a.m. to midnight on Sundays-Thursdays and 10-1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
