The Westside of Los Angele got a whole lot crispier thanks to Raising Cane’s.
A new location in the heart of Santa Monica opened on Third Street Promenade at 1401 3rd Street Promenade this week. Located steps from the beach and the iconic Santa Monica Pier, the restaurant marks Raising Cane’s first location on the Westside of Los Angeles.
The celebration brought together Community leaders, local organizations and residents to welcome the Restaurant to Downtown Santa Monica. By the time doors opened, there were approximately 200 customers in line, with the first customer arriving at 8 p.m. the night before.
As part of Raising Cane’s commitment to supporting the communities it serves, the restaurant also presented donations benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Education Foundation. The opening-day celebration included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Community festivities and special giveaways. I’ve included the press release below my signature with the full details.
The new location was designed with Santa Monica’s surf-and-skate culture in mind, blending the laid-back energy of the coast with the bold personality of Raising Cane’s. Inside, Customers will find a vibrant mix of local-inspired artwork and décor, including a Ferris wheel mural inspired by the nearby Santa Monica Pier, surfboard disco light installations and California-inspired merchandise. The dining room also celebrates Raising Cane’s history and owner and founder Todd Graves’ journey from boilermaker and sockeye salmon fisherman to opening the first Raising Cane’s Restaurant in 1996.
