Linden gets its first Raising Cane’s next August with giveaways and community gifts
Full disclosure: I would probably be a vegetarian if it weren’t for spicy chicken, especially when it’s breaded.
It’s so simple but so so tasty. Whether it’s in a chicken sandwich or simple chicken fingers, I’m always on board.
If there’s a decent dipping sauce, I’m all the happier.
So when I heard that a popular chicken chain is opening up another location in the Garden State, I was delighted.
Raising Cane’s is opening another New Jersey location
Raising Cane’s, the Louisiana-based company, made it’s way to New Jersey in 2024 and has since opened several restaurants in the Garden State.
They’re continuing their expansion with a new location in Union County opening this month.
On Aug. 17, 2026, Raising Cane’s will open in Linden at 801 W. Edgar Road.
The beloved chain, known for its Cane’s sauce, chicken fingers, coleslaw, Texas toast, and crinkle cut fries, is opening in Linden.
By the way, their whole menu is almost that simple. Yet people have become so addicted to it that it works for them. In fact they have over 900 worldwide locations.
That new Linden location will be at 801 W. Edgar Road and is opening at 10 a.m. on Monday August 17th. Get there early between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and you can enter a drawing to be one of the “Lucky 20” who will win free meals for a year. If that doesn’t get you hooked nothing will!
Also the first 100 customers at the new Linden location will receive a Cane’s trucker hat and a card for a free Box Combo.
Will there be dignitaries? Of course.
The mayor of Linden will be on hand and Raising Cane’s will even be presenting a generous check for $1,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Union County and Linden Public Schools.
Get those taste buds ready Union County!
