Raising Cane’s, a popular fast-food chain known for its chicken finger meals, is set to make a grand entrance into the Washington D.C. food scene. The brand’s first location in the nation’s capital will open its doors on Tuesday, adding a new flavor to the city’s diverse culinary offerings.
Strategic Location at Union Station
The new Raising Cane’s restaurant is strategically located on the east side of the main level of the train concourse in Union Station, sitting directly across from Amtrak Gates K & L. This placement ensures high visibility and accessibility, making it a convenient stop for both residents and travelers passing through the historic transit hub.
Grand Opening Festivities
To mark this significant opening, Raising Cane’s has lined up a series of engaging activities throughout the day. The store, opening at 9 a.m., promises a memorable experience for its first customers. The first 200 patrons will be treated to a special edition hat, while the very first customer in line will be rewarded with a Raising Cane’s swag basket.
An exciting “Lucky 20” drawing is one of the key events of the day. This drawing offers 20 customers aged 13 and above the chance to win Free Cane’s for a Year. Participants can enter the drawing between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., with the winners being announced shortly thereafter, between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. However, to claim the prize, winners must be present at the location during the announcement.
Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Community Engagement
The official ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 8:25 a.m., signifying the official opening of this much-anticipated location. In a gesture of community involvement and support, Raising Cane’s will present a check to the American Experience Foundation. This not-for-profit organization is dedicated to providing travel experiences, education, and opportunities to students in the D.C. area.
Festive Atmosphere with Giveaways and Entertainment
The celebrations will continue throughout the day, featuring various giveaways, a live DJ, and a special appearance by Screech, the beloved mascot of the Washington Nationals. These activities are set to create a festive atmosphere, welcoming patrons to experience the unique offerings of Raising Cane’s.
A Unique Dining Experience
This Raising Cane’s outlet at Union Station is notable for being the first in a transit hub. The interior decoration will feature 12 Union Station illustrations by renowned architectural artist Carlos Diniz, promising a visually appealing dining experience that pays homage to the station’s rich history.
