Raising Cane's to Arrive in Buffalo NY

The newest addition of popular food chains in Western New York

Raising Cane's, the renowned fast-food chain celebrated for its chicken fingers, is poised to make its debut in Western New York.

 

A company representative confirmed that they have a property under contract on Maple Road in Amherst, specifically targeting the former Red Lobster location.

 

This move marks a significant expansion for Raising Cane's, which has been steadily increasing its presence across the East Coast. The chain's commitment to quality and simplicity has garnered a dedicated following nationwide.

 

Assuming the real estate transaction proceeds as planned, the Buffalo project will undergo the necessary entitlements and permitting processes, with construction anticipated to commence in 2027 at the earliest.

 

The arrival of Raising Cane's adds to the dynamic culinary landscape of Buffalo, which has recently seen a surge in new restaurant openings. Notably, Hertel Avenue has welcomed six new establishments, including a craft brewery, Italian bistro, and vegan café, further solidifying the area's reputation as a dining hotspot.

 

As Buffalo continues to attract diverse culinary ventures, the addition of Raising Cane's is eagerly anticipated by residents and visitors alike.
