Another location is set to open by Temple University's main campus in the summer.
"This is a huge grand opening, not just for us and the Philadelphia community, but for the brand as a whole," said Restaurant Leader Cody Mixon. "We've had our sights set on bringing our One Love to Pennsylvania for a while, so we couldn't be more excited to make our Philly debut."
Along with its chicken fingers, Raising Cane's menu includes its Cane's sauce, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, sweet tea and lemonade.
