A highly anticipated fast-food chicken restaurant is less than a month away from making its Seattle debut. Raising Cane’s will be opening in the University District, at 345 University Way Northeast, on Feb.
17, according to a news release from the company. “We’re beyond excited to bring Raising Cane’s to Seattle for the very first time and become part of the U-District Community,” Restaurant Leader Brennie Avina stated via the release.However, Raising Cane’s noted that before customers can enjoy hand-battered chicken fingers, house-made Cane’s sauce, or buttery Cane’s toast, the store needs a team of more than 100 crewmembers. “Before we serve our first chicken finger, we’re focused on building an incredible team of crewmembers who share our passion for great food and friendly service. From flexible schedules and weekly pay to real opportunities for growth, we’re proud to offer Seattle job seekers a place where they can build a career — not just a job,” Avina stated.“Graves’ college business plan earned the lowest grade in class, and banks repeatedly turned him down,” the news release stated. “Determined, he worked 90-hour weeks as a boilermaker in California, then spent a season commercial fishing in Alaska to fund his vision.” Graves originally planned to name the restaurant Sockeye’s, but instead named it after his beloved yellow lab, Raising Cane. On opening night, he kept the doors open until 3:30 a.m. Now, nearly 30 years later, Raising Cane’s still serves the same menu that made it famous and has expanded to almost 1,000 restaurants across 40 states.Iconic Gig Harbor restaurant sold to Anthony’s Restaurants after 53 years The Seattle grand opening will be “an all-out celebration,” the release stated.
