City process slows new Staten Island location for chicken franchise
"Raising Cane's first entered New Jersey in 2024 with a Burlington restaurant and expanded shortly afterward to Washington Township, Marlton, Cherry Hill, Deptford and Glassboro. In New York City, the chain made its debut in the summer of 2023 with the opening of its 8,000‑square‑foot Global Flagship at 1501 Broadway in Times Square, its first NYC outpost and the brand's largest location nationwide at the time."
"A Raising Cane's representative said Monday that it is still too early to confirm the Staten Island location, noting the development is waiting on entitlements. That refers to the period when a developer must secure required city land-use and zoning approvals before construction can begin. The company expects more clarity "in the next month or so," after which the project would move into permitting. Even with approvals, an opening is still projected to be about a year away."
An empty parking lot and shuttered storefronts mark the potential Raising Cane's site at the base of Richmond Hill Road and Richmond Avenue. Progress remains slow while the development waits on entitlements, the period to secure required city land-use and zoning approvals before construction can begin. A company representative said confirmation is premature but expects clarity "in the next month or so," after which the project would move into permitting; even with approvals an opening is projected about a year later. The chain expanded into New Jersey in 2024 and debuted in New York City in summer 2023 with an 8,000-square-foot Times Square Global Flagship and multiple Brooklyn locations.
