Claim: Raising Cane's is opening in November at the University of Illinois

Question

I found information on the News Gazette that stated Raising Cane's will be opening in November on Green Street. I also have been passing the restaurant a few times and it seems close to being done and ready to open.

Rating: Likely not misinformation

Comments

Yes, raising canes will most likely be opening in November as the spokesperson confirmed that it should be opening in November.

Answer 6

While previous reports did have Raising Canes opening in November, new updates from Julia Doyle, a spokeswoman for the chain, now has the restaurant opening in February 2023. Doyle cited construction delays as the reason for pushing back the opening date. I found this information on Yahoo News, which sourced the article from the Champaign News-Gazette. https://newsdetective.org/5086/claim-raising-canes-opening-november-university-illinois
