JOHNSTON, RI — A little bit of the south arrived in Johnston Wednesday as the first Raising Cane's location in all of Rhode Island opened its doors.
The Louisiana-based fast food favorite, known for its chicken fingers and famous Cane's sauce, is now serving customers through its drive-through and dining room at the Stonehill Market Place on Atwood Avenue.
The chain is also expected to open a location off of Highland Avenue in Seekonk, Massachusetts this year.
