Raising Cane’s, the fast food chain known for its crispy chicken fingers and “Cane’s sauce,” is opening a location in Glassboro. Construction of the eatery is taking place at 695 North Delsea Drive. 

The location is scheduled to open in April 2025.

The lot was previously home to Rite Aid, a Philadelphia-based pharmaceutical company that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Oct. 2023.

Many students have eagerly waited for Raising Cane’s opening, labeling it as another must-try food option. 

“I love Cane’s,” said Bryce Corcordon, A First-year Radio, Television, and Film major, “I’m a certified Caniac.” 

Raising Cane’s gained notoriety through social media sites such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. With some videos garnering millions of views. Content such as eating challenges, Mukbang, and ASMR have helped propagate Raising Cane’s into the mainstream.

“It’s a lot better than the competition,” said Kellen Kaiser, a First-year Computer Science major. “I’ll be going 100%.”

The Glassboro location will be the 4th of 7 planned Raising Cane’s locations built in New Jersey. The first Raising Cane’s was constructed in 1996 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Since then, they’ve grown to 800 locations nationally.

Raising Cane’s has yet to confirm whether Rowan Bucks or dining dollars will be accepted as currency at the location.
