Pensacola Approves Plans for Raising Canes Chicken

Pensacola, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- Chicken finger fans, your wait is almost over. Pensacola has approved plans to demolish the former Red Lobster near Cordova Mall to make way for a Raising Cane's restaurant. The popular chain has been rumored for Pensacola since 2022. Permits for demolition and construction have been issued, including plans for a drive-thru and outdoor seating. Right now, the closest location is in Mobile, so this will give locals much closer access to those famous chicken fingers and that addictive Cane's sauce. The chain plans to operate more than 1,600 locations nationwide by decade's end.
