Raising Cane's, the Louisiana fried chicken restaurant with a cult following, will open its second Triangle location on Raleigh's Hillsborough Street.
The latest: Raising Cane's debuted Triangle in 2023 with a location on Chapel Hill's Franklin Street, immediately attracting long lines of UNC students for its chicken tenders.
The company appears to be trying to replicate that success, putting its next location on Hillsborough Street near N.C. State University.
Driving the news: Cane's will take over the former Umami Asian Bistro location on Hillsborough Street, next to Mitch's Tavern, according to the Triangle Business Journal.
