When will Raising Cane’s open its State College location? Here’s the latest on the plans

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is targeting spring to open its downtown State College location, which would be one of the company’s first to open in Pennsylvania.

The American fast-food restaurant chain specializing in chicken fingers is scheduled to open in April at 228 E. College Ave., the business’ marketing agency wrote in an email Thursday.

The chain plans to open its first two Pennsylvania eateries in Philadelphia, followed by State College.

“As a proud Pennsylvanian myself, I can’t wait for so many folks across Philly and State College to start their journey with Cane’s,” Dustin Shearer, Raising Cane’s vice president of company restaurants, said in a statement. “We are so proud of the culture we have at Cane’s that is rooted in showing our appreciation to our hardworking crew members.”

It was unclear how many people the business may employ, but managers can expect to make at least $18 per hour. Candidates can apply at WorkAtCanes.com.

The company planned to spend about $1.6 million to renovate the 3,967-square-foot space on the first floor of the building, according to an application filed with the borough. The space was most recently used as a leasing office for Here State College.
