Raising Cane's Just Opened Its First Location In This Southern City
When Raising Cane's opened its first location in Southaven, Mississippi this week, a long line of customers was already waiting.
It's no wonder, because the new restaurant gave 20 lucky customers free Cane's for a year, according to WREG in Memphis. The Louisiana-based chicken chain is known for chicken fingers dipped in Cane's Sauce, a proprietary and top-secret recipe. Combos come with a side of crinkle-cut fries, cole slaw, and Texas toast.
WREG says a 10-year-old, Adam Hamed, got his parents to drive him from out of town at 6 a.m. for a chance at free chicken. The store opened at 10 and Hamed was 83rd in line.
'It's the sauce and the chicken tenders. That's what I love — the sauce,' said Hamed.
As for the woman who was first in line, Suzette Hughes from Milington, she slept outside the door.
'There is no place like Cane's… no place like Cane's… no place like Cane's,' she told WREG. 'I got here last night, about 8 last night, camped on the sidewalk. Had my blowup queen-size air bed. That's where I slept.'
Those who didn't win a year's worth of chicken still got something for their efforts. The chicken chain gave out a commemorative hat and free box combo card to the first 100 buyers of a combo.
Raising Cane's has added more than 800 locations since the original restaurant opened near LSU's campus in 1996.
