Raising Cane’s is continuing its expansion across the United States with new restaurant developments in Colorado and California.

In September 2026, the chain opened its 22nd Colorado location in Westminster. The grand opening included a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a $1,000 donation to the nonprofit Hope House Colorado.

Simultaneously, the company announced growth in California. A new location is scheduled to open at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf on September 21, 2026, featuring decor inspired by local landmarks. Additionally, the chain has filed permits for a new drive-thru restaurant in Valencia, intended for the site of a former Red Lobster, with an expected opening in Fall 2027.
