New Raising Cane's Opening In MA Town

SEEKONK, MA — Raising Cane's is set to continue its New England expansion with a new restaurant in the Bay State opening this week.

The restaurant chain is set to open a new location in Seekonk on Tuesday, officials said. It marks the third location in Bristol County and fifth in Massachusetts.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 9 a.m. featuring representatives from the East Providence Chamber of Commerce and town officials.

The new location — located at 175 Highland Ave. — is opening with the theme of “Fast Times at Speedkonk” as a play on the town’s famous speedway.

Additionally, a number of special activities are planned for the opening, including the chance to win free Raising Cane's for a year. Show up between 8 and 9 a.m. to enter for a chance to win in a 9:15 a.m. drawing.

The first 100 customers to purchase a combo meal will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a free box combo on their return visit, officials said.

For those seeking employment, Raising Cane’s has a number of openings with wages starting at $17 per hour, officials said.

“We’re so pleased to be able to offer valuable job opportunities for local community members at the new Seekonk Raising Cane’s,” said Julia Dyer, Cane’s Area Leader of Restaurants. “We can’t wait to get involved in the community alongside our Restaurant Leader Gary Roderick, who grew up in the area and understands the importance of embracing the local culture of Seekonk on a personal level.”

This restaurant’s hours are 10 a.m. to midnight daily.
