"The site at 2456 Richmond Avenue was approved for development by Community Board 3, and while the property currently sits vacant, Raising Cane's has big plans for the location. Originally slated for a summer 2025 opening, the project has now been pushed to 2027, according to current company estimates. While grand opening details haven't been finalized, the company typically launches with fanfare, giveaways, and community-focused celebrations. Over the summer, a Raising Cane's representative confirmed that the Staten Island project would not include a liquor license, would require a traffic study as mandated by the city, and indeed would feature a drive-thru."
"Raising Cane's began as a college project by founder Todd Graves, who opened the first location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1996 after securing an SBA loan. The brand is known for its fresh, hand-battered chicken tenders and simple menu-no heat lamps, just quality food made to order. The name comes from Graves' yellow Labrador, Raising Cane-not the biblical phrase 'raising Cain.' The original name was going to be "Sockeye's," inspired by Graves' fishing days."
Raising Cane's received approval for development at 2456 Richmond Avenue in Staten Island and the property currently sits vacant. The planned opening was originally set for summer 2025 but has been postponed to 2027 according to company estimates. The project will include a drive-thru, will not pursue a liquor license, and will require a city-mandated traffic study. The site was formerly home to Furniture To Go, a FedEx shipping center, and Coco Nails & Spa, and sits near Trader Joe's and Wendy's. Raising Cane's originated in 1996 and has expanded into multiple New York City locations since 2023.
