Raising Cane’s, the popular chicken-finger chain, is celebrating a major milestone with the opening of its 1,000th location on Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame. Situated next to landmarks like the TCL (Grauman’s) Chinese Theater and Madame Tussauds, this flagship restaurant highlights the chain’s strategy of placing stores in high-traffic, tourist-heavy areas.
The Hollywood location is two stories, featuring massive LED screens, a 7-foot golden Cane III (the dog) statue on the balcony, and the iconic “One Love” tagline lit with 1,000 bulbs. The chain has previously opened landmark restaurants, including an 8,000-square-foot Times Square location and a pink-themed outlet designed with Post Malone in Utah, according to Restaurant Business.
Making a dream come true in Hollywood
Hollywood isn’t just another busy location for Raising Cane’s, but a symbol of the chain’s rise and ambition. Opening the 1,000th unit on the Walk of Fame is deeply personal for co-CEO and founder Todd Graves.
He recalls first visiting L.A. years ago, dreaming of the Walk of Fame and the Hollywood sign while working long shifts as a boilermaker. Now, bringing Raising Cane’s to this iconic spot feels like a full-circle moment.
The company is planning nine more locations in the Los Angeles area this year, including sites near SoFi Stadium, Westwood Village, and Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade, all scheduled before the 2026 World Cup.
