Check out Raising Cane’s opening in Times Square with Texas toast couches, sauce tables

Raising Cane’s, the Louisiana fried chicken restaurant chain, opened its first New York location Tuesday in Times Square.

The restaurant is more than 8,000 square feet and is located on Broadway and 44th Street. An image of the restaurant’s Caniac Corner furniture, which features a Cane’s sauce table and Texas toast couches, went viral on Twitter.

According to a press release, New York’s Cane’s has ordering kiosks.

“The Times Square Global Flagship marks a monumental moment for our brand,” Raising Cane’s Founder Todd Graves said in the release. “I am personally excited for all that is to come in New York and across the world for Cane’s.”

The location has unique features, including a Cane III statue dressed as Lady Liberty and window displays adorning life-size crinkle-cut fries.

Graves has been busy this month. Just last week, he was in Omaha, Neb., for the College World Series to help LSU fans set a CWS Jello Shot Challenge.

Graves purchased 6,000 shots, which helped break last year’s mark of 18,777 set by Ole Miss. The LSU faithful bought more than 68,000 shots. A portion of proceeds from each shot goes toward food pantries for all eight teams represented at the CWS as well as Heartland Food Bank.
