Raising Cane's opening location in Portage this fall
PORTAGE, Mich. (WOOD) — Raising Cane's is expected to open its first West Michigan location this fall.
The fast food chicken chain is set to open at the corner of Milham Avenue and Westnedge Avenue in Portage, Josh Weiner, the CEO of developer Meyer C. Weiner Company, confirmed to News 8. He said the two buildings that had been at that corner were demolished last week.
Raising Cane's aims to open restaurants in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo areas
is expected to open there late this fall.
Weiner told News 8 over the phone Tuesday that his team is excited about developing that corner, something they've been working on for 15 years.
Raising Cane's, a Louisiana-founded chain known for its chicken, Texas toast and crinkle-cut fries, already has two locations in the east side of the state, with a third coming soon in Ann Arbor.
It's working to open more spots in Michigan, including in the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo areas, a spokesperson previously told News 8. The goal is to open around 20 new locations over the next 10 years.
'Michigan has so many great Communities that we look forward to becoming a part of to not only serve, but to employ and give back,' the spokesperson said in a previous statement.
