MARLBOROUGH – Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers at 141 Boston Post Road West is scheduled to open on April 18.
It will be the second location in Massachusetts; the other is in Boston.
The site has been under construction since last fall.
In 2021, Raising Cane’s, a nationwide fast-food chain specializing in chicken fingers, applied for a special permit to construct a restaurant with two drive-through lanes.
The project moved forward despite concerns regarding traffic from the nearby McDonald’s. McDonald’s attorneys argued that all traffic entering and exiting the Raising Cane’s would have to pass through its driveway.
Ultimately, the City Council granted the special permit, and McDonald’s appealed the decision in October. In court documents, McDonald’s attorneys argued that traffic vehicle circulation and issues with both safety and parking “conflict with public health, safety, convenience and welfare and will be detrimental or offensive to traffic in the vicinity of the project and to the operation of the McDonald’s restaurant.”
In March 2022, City Solicitor Jason Grossfield announced that the appeal was dismissed in a letter to the council.
