I first tasted the unique flavor of Raising Cane's chicken during an emotionally challenging time in California. The comfort it brought me is unforgettable. I was helping my great grandmother visit her firstborn son for the last time, and amidst our grief, we found solace in this simple yet delicious meal. Upon returning to my home in Salem, Oregon, I was disheartened to find no Raising Cane's nearby.

The closest location is in Portland - a city plagued with drug issues and homelessness. The traffic infrastructure there is also less than ideal making it inconvenient and potentially unsafe for frequent visits just for a meal. This forces me to limit my trips down there to once a year.

Salem deserves better! We deserve access to the comfort food that has made such an impact on so many lives across America. According to Statista (2019), fast-food chains like Raising Cane's have seen significant growth over recent years due to their popularity among consumers who seek convenience without sacrificing quality.

By opening a Raising Cane's location in or close by Salem, we not only bring this beloved brand closer home but also contribute positively towards local economy through job creation and increased business activity.

Join us as we call on the management of Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers chain of restaurants to consider opening up shop here at Salem! Your signature can help make this dream come true for us all! Please sign this petition today!
