The rapidly growing chicken finger chain is preparing to open its 1,000th restaurant at Hollywood & Highland, just steps away from the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese Theatre. The landmark location represents not only a huge achievement for the brand, but also a full-circle moment for founder Todd Graves.<\/p>\n

Graves first arrived in Los Angeles more than 30 years ago with a dream and an unconventional plan to make it happen. After being turned down by banks for his restaurant concept, he took on demanding boilermaker jobs in El Segundo and Torrance to fund the idea himself. <\/p>\n

That determination eventually led to the opening of the first Raising Cane\u2019s in Baton Rouge in 1996 and sparked what has become one of the fastest-growing restaurant brands in the world.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Graves offered select media an exclusive preview inside the milestone location, and BOSSIP<\/em> was in attendance to see the spot in all its glory. Showcasing a bold, two-story design that blends Hollywood flair with the brand\u2019s signature style, the restaurant features floor-to-ceiling LED screens, a nearly seven-foot-tall golden Cane statue, and a \u201cMenu of Fame\u201d ceiling installation highlighting its signature items. Plus, a marquee-style entrance inspired by red carpet premieres adds to the immersive experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s serendipitous being here today, celebrating the 1,000th Restaurant back where an important part of the Raising Cane\u2019s story started for me,\u201d Graves said during the sneak peek. \u201cTens of millions of people come here each year and I love the fact that they may be coming here for the first time to see the Hollywood Sign or the Walk of Fame and Cane\u2019s will be part of that memory.\u201d<\/p>\n

From its humble beginnings in 1996 to now more than 1,000 locations worldwide, Raising Cane\u2019s has built its success on consistency and simplicity. The brand has stuck to its original menu\u2014chicken fingers, Cane\u2019s Sauce, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw and toast\u2014while focusing heavily on quality and customer experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the same menu today as we did when I opened the first Raising Cane\u2019s in Baton Rouge: Chicken Fingers, Cane\u2019s Sauce, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw and toast. A key part of growth is making sure every Box Combo tastes as good as the last and that the Customer experience is unparalleled,\u201d said Graves. \u201cWe\u2019re going to continue growing by focusing on doing what we do best: serving Craveable Chicken Finger Meals. We\u2019ll do this by hiring great Crew, giving back to our local Communities, and ensuring that our food is always high quality and Craveable. We\u2019re sticking to what we know and this will get us to the next 1,000 Restaurants and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hollywood opening is just one part of the company\u2019s larger expansion plans. Los Angeles is set to play a major role in that growth, with nine additional locations scheduled to open across the area in 2026. Upcoming spots include locations near SoFi Stadium, Third Street Promenade, and Westwood, making the chain a staple across all parts of the city.<\/p>\n

The numbers behind the brand\u2019s growth are just as impressive. In 2025 alone, Raising Cane\u2019s generated more than $5.7 billion in sales and served customers over 500 million times, all while maintaining industry-leading average unit volumes of $6.7 million. Beyond business, the brand has also embedded itself in pop culture through celebrity partnerships, major event collaborations, and community-focused initiatives ranging from nonprofit support to local giveaways.<\/p>\n

As Raising Cane\u2019s approaches its 30th anniversary this August, the company shows no signs of slowing down. With plans to open nearly 100 new restaurants in 2026 and expand internationally into markets like London and Mexico, the Hollywood flagship stands as both a celebration of its journey and a preview of what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood & Highland location is opening soon!<\/p>\n
