While this fast food spot started in Southern California like so many others, its roots are humble, going from a parking lot to a full-blown restaurant chain.

The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses the origin story of the fast-food chain Raising Cane's, which began in 1996 when founder Todd Graves was a college student at Louisiana State University. Graves initially proposed the idea for a chicken finger restaurant as a class project, but it was met with skepticism by his professor and classmates. Undeterred, Graves pursued his vision, securing a $100,000 small business loan and opening the first Raising Cane's location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with the help of his friend Craig Silvey. The restaurant's name is inspired by Graves' dog, a golden Labrador named Raising Cane. Since its humble beginnings, Raising Cane's has grown into a successful chain with over 500 locations across the United States and plans for further expansion.
