Raising Cane's Hires for New Tuscaloosa Store at $15 an Hour

Q: With the exterior already finished, what secret date in September will this highly anticipated standalone Raising Cane's finally open its doors?

The anticipated opening date is **Sept. 17**. While Raising Cane’s had not announced an official date in the initial hiring notice, the additional reporting and social media references indicate Tuscaloosa’s first standalone Cane’s at **1241 McFarland Blvd. E.** is slated to open **Wednesday, Sept. 17**. That fits the timeline suggested by the company’s hiring push, the nearly completed exterior, and the “coming soon” status on job listings for the new restaurant. The McFarland and 13th Street store will be the chain’s **second Tuscaloosa location**, following the long-running campus restaurant in Paty Hall.
