Raising Cane's proposes new south San Jose location at furniture store site

"The casual dining chain is floating a proposal to establish a restaurant at 1030 and 1040 Blossom Hill Rd., a location currently leased to a La-Z-Boy furniture store. Changes would include a redevelopment of the existing one-acre site on Blossom Hill Road near Almaden Expressway, planning documents show. The current building totals 19,600 square feet, according to a marketing brochure prepared by CBRE commercial real estate brokers Matt Kircher and Meaghan Post."

"The Raising Cane's building would be significantly smaller approximately 3,000 square feet than the existing retail structure, the restaurant chain's proposal shows. A site plan for the project shows two drive-thru lanes that appear to be able to accommodate up to 20 vehicles at a time. A canopy would cover part of the drive-thru section. The future restaurant site would also include parking spaces as well as spaces for customers to pick up a mobile order."

Raising Cane's proposes a restaurant at 1030 and 1040 Blossom Hill Rd., currently leased to a La-Z-Boy furniture store. The one-acre site near Almaden Expressway currently houses a 19,600-square-foot building. The proposed Raising Cane's would be approximately 3,000 square feet and would require alteration or demolition of some or all of the existing structure. A site plan shows two drive-thru lanes accommodating up to 20 vehicles, a partial canopy, parking, and mobile order pickup spaces. The property comprises two parcels with different owners, and it is unclear whether the company intends to purchase either parcel. The chain is pursuing other Bay Area expansion sites.
