MANSFIELD — North central Ohio residents have long noticed the construction underway at 720 N. Lexington-Springmill Road.

Ever since the departure of Denny’s and the announcement that Raising Cane’s would relocate in the same spot, chicken fans in the community have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

That wait will end on June 24, when the highly-anticipated location will officially open its doors. A ribbon-cutting is scheduled to take place with local officials at 9:20 a.m.

Raising Cane’s is calling it the store’s grand debut, bringing its famous hand-battered chicken fingers and signature Cane’s Sauce to Richland County.

To celebrate the grand opening, guests can spin the prize wheel for a chance to score fun Raising Cane’s swag, enjoy music from a live DJ, and between 8 and 9 a.m. enter a giveaway for “Cane’s for a Year.”

Raising Cane’s is a casual favorite, known for serving crave-worthy chicken finger meals and being an active part of the communities it serves.
