“Chicken Finger State of Mind” Debuts in New York City

 NEW YORK (June 27, 2023) – Baton Rouge-based Restaurant chain; Raising Cane’s has debuted its Global flagship location in the heart of Times Square. The Global Flagship marks the first of 25 Restaurants set to open within the next three years in the five boroughs and greater NYC. With 8,000+ square feet and over 165 employees, the Global Flagship is home to exclusive Raising Cane's and NYC-themed merch, a custom mural painted by New York-based artist Timothy Goodman, seasonal window displays, and various nods to the brand and beloved mascot, Cane III. 

Located at 1501 Broadway in the historic Paramount building, guests will be transported to a “Chicken Finger State of Mind.” Unique elements including a statue of Cane III dressed like Lady Liberty and larger-than-life replicas of the Cane’s sauce, Chicken Fingers, and Texas toast pay homage to New York City and the brand. The brand’s iconic disco ball décor is decorated with crystals from an NYC-based design studio, which replicates the famous New Year’s Eve ball that drops in Times Square. 

Caniacs near and far joined Cane’s for the grand opening event. Twenty lucky customers received free Cane’s for a year, and the first 200 people in line received an exclusive, custom hat to commemorate the Global Flagship’s grand opening. Since Grand Opening Day, over 8,000 customers were served at the Global Flagship.

Raising Cane’s is one of the latest to join a suite of iconic companies to open in Times Square, one of the most iconic and popular destinations in the world. Upon New Year’s Eve, more than a million people are anticipated to gather only steps away from the Restaurant. 

The Global Flagship will serve customers during the standard hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. ET daily with an additional hour of service form 1:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. for orders placed at the walk-up window for carryout only.
