The wait is over and hungry fans who waited hours in the cold for the highly anticipated opening of metro Detroit's first Raising Cane's location in Canton Township. With blankets, sleeping bags, and bundled in hats, gloves, and layers of clothing, hundreds of people eagerly awaited the opening of the first metro Detroit Raising Cane's location on ford Road. Some folks started to wait in line on Monday evening. Henry and Joshua Cox, 18, of Canton were Raising Cane's first customers. The twin brothers camped out, staying warm in sleeping bags all night, arriving at the restaurant at 7 p.m. Monday. It was 14 hours later when doors opened and the brothers walked through a tunnel of Raising Cane's staff greeting them with cheers and ringing of cow bells. 'We had it (Raising Cane's) in California a couple months ago,' Joshua Cox said. 'The sauce is good paired with the chicken. By 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, according to Raising Cane's officials, more than 100 people were in line awaiting the chain's opening, offering giveaways, a chance to win Raising Cane for a year, and to meet Detroit Lion's punter Jack Fox, who served the first drive-thru customer and signed autographs. Groups in line spoke of traveling to the Raising Cane's near Toledo, Ohio. A Raising Cane's location is in East Lansing and other Michigan locations are planned. Alexis Thornton, 23, of Canton, wrapped in a blanket, and David Farrell of Detroit stood out for 10 hours awaiting the opening.

'As soon as I heard, I knew I had to be here,' Farrell, who along with Thornton likes the sauce as well as Raising Cane's Texas Toast. 'You definitely know how to throw an opening,' Ann Marie Graham-Hudak, Canton Township supervisor said at the ribbon cutting.
