ONTARIO — Two job listings caused quite the stir for Richland County residents on Tuesday morning.

Listings for a Raising Cane’s general manager and assistant restaurant manager for a Lexington-Springmill Road location say the popular chicken restaurant will be coming to Richland County next year.

Zoning inspector Michael Morton said the city has talked with Raising Cane’s representatives in the past about the feasibility of a new restaurant in Ontario, possibly near the Richland Mall.

The city planning commission will need to approve plans when developers submit them.

“They haven’t submitted official plans or anything, but we have talked with developers in the past,” Morton said.

There are currently 54 Raising Cane’s operating in Ohio. The closest to Richland County include Akron, Canton, Heath, Strongsville and Delaware locations.
