America's third biggest fried chicken chain is coming to London for the first time

"London is obsessed with fried chicken. You can barely move for a Morley's, Sam's Chicken, Chicken Cottage or one of countless other thinly veiled variations on those names (Mowley's, Morly's or Marley's, for example). But apparently, all those just aren't enough. Over the past few years, heavyweight American fried chicken chains like Daves Hot Chicken, Popeyes and Chic-fil-A have been moving to the capital city. Now, there's another one on its way."

"Raising Cane's. With even more sites across the States than KFC, Raising Cane's is the US's third largest fried chicken chain (after Chick-fil-A and Popeyes). It will open its first ever European store at 21-22 Coventry St in Piccadilly Circus (the site formerly home to Angus Steakhouse 's flagship branch) later this year. The chain was founded in Louisiana in 1996 and now has more than 900 diners across the States."

Raising Cane's, founded in Louisiana in 1996, is the United States' third-largest fried chicken chain and operates more sites across the States than KFC. The brand has more than 900 restaurants and celebrity fans including Snoop Dogg, Post Malone and Cardi B; there are two Post Malone–themed Raising Cane's locations in Texas and Utah. The core menu consists of crispy chicken fingers, 'Cane's Sauce' (a mayo-based dip), garlicky Texas toast, coleslaw and crinkle-cut fries, plus gallon lemonades, sweet tea and half-and-half drinks. The first European store will open at 21-22 Coventry St, Piccadilly Circus, in late 2026, with additional London sites and drive-throughs planned.
