Raising Cane’s, the popular chicken finger chain with a cult-like following, plans to open its second Birmingham-metro location just before Thanksgiving.

When does Raising Cane’s open in Trussville?

The new chicken joint will be located at 1672 Gadsden Highway at the former Pet Supplies Plus site in Trussville and is slated to open on November 23, 2026.

A Raising Cane’s Public Relations representative confirmed the opening date via an email to Bham Now, after the date was first reported by QSR Magazine, a national fast-casual trade magazine.
