** New Raising Cane’s proposed for Route 34 in Oswego
------------------------------------------------------------
Popular chicken finger spot to be considered next week

Chicken lovers, rejoice! A shining beacon of battered, deep-fried hope has arrived in the form of a new Raising Cane’s, the popular Louisiana-based chicken finger restaurant, slated for Route 34 in Oswego.

The restaurant is known for causing a stir at its grand openings where long lines of hopeful “Caniacs” wait for a chance to win a year of free chicken. The Oswego location is proposed for 2450 Route 34 in the Prairie Market shopping center and will go before the Planning and Zoning Commission at its April 9 meeting.

“I am very excited and have been eagerly waiting to make this announcement,” Village President Troy Parlier said. “Raising Cane’s is one of the fastest growing restaurants in America and has a tremendous following, especially with the younger audience. This says a lot about our community and the advantages we offer, and we are enthusiastic to work with our newest partner.”

The proposal would demolish the current building on the site, previously a Sleepy’s Mattress store and a Citibank before that, and build a new 3,352 square foot restaurant with outdoor dining space and a drive-through.

“Raising Cane’s is excited to continue our growth in the Chicagoland area,” said Anna Ball, regional leader of marketing, fry cook and cashier for the chain. “We look forward to an Oswego location, hiring a top-notch crew, and connecting with the community in the future.”

About 40 employees will staff the new restaurant.

The chain is known for its peculiarly stripped-down menu that focuses on just breaded and fried chicken fingers, done exceptionally well and served with Cane’s sauce, a tangy, slight spicy creamy dressing, plus fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw.

The Planning & Zoning Commission will consider the proposal at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 9. In compliance with the state’s current Stay at Home order, commissioners will be meeting remotely. Members of the public can watch from home at www.oswegoil.org/government/village-board/agendas.aspx, submit public comment to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) , and participate in the public comment portion of the meeting by going to StreamUS.oswegoil.org (streamus.oswegoil.org) or calling (312) 626-6799 just prior to the meeting and entering passcode 508 193 215.
