Over 200 people braved the cold to get their first taste of Cane’s, with some camping out overnight. The franchise said they pride themselves on serving elite chicken fingers and are thrilled to bring their brand to the Mountain State.
“It’s going to be a really great experience overall, with our amazing crew and strong culture. We’re always welcoming to our community,” said Warren Sewell, Raising Cane’s Regional Vice President. “Every Raising Cane’s restaurant we open keeps its focus on the local community. Everything you see here is an homage to the Morgantown community.”
The first 100 customers who purchased a box combo received commemorative Cane’s hats and a free combo meal voucher to redeem at a later date. The restaurant is located at 3515 University Town Centre Drive in Morgantown, West Virginia.
