Raising Cane's moves to Plano
By Heather M. Smith, Staff Writer
Beginning Jan. 12, The Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers restaurant will operate their corporate offices out of a 24,000-square-foot building located at 5800 Tennyson Parkway in Legacy Business Park in Plano.
"We're very excited to have Raising Cane come to Plano," said Sally Bane, executive director of the economic development board. "When you have a project that selects this community, it strengthens the community."
The company signed a four-and-a-half-year lease and is moving to Texas to make their future growth easier. Raising Cane's is based in Baton Rouge, La., and will bring about half of the 70-person workforce from that corporate office in departments such as human resources and operations. This opens about 35 jobs for Plano area residents. The company has started accepting resumes from interested job applicants in the area. Resumes may be submitted at raisingcanes@selfopportunity.com.
The Plano location was chosen because the company wants to take advantage of the central location that the Legacy Business Park offers. The Plano office will be modeled after the Baton Rouge office. Most corporate functions will transfer to the Plano location, but the Baton Rouge office will remain open to support operations for the 53 restaurants in Louisiana.
"We have been working with Raising Cane's representatives for some time," Bane said. "It's a great company and the company is a great example of how determination can make all the difference."
Founded in 1996 by Todd Graves, Raising Cane's has had its headquarters in Baton Rouge for the past 12 years. There are more than 75 locations in 13 states across the U.S.
