DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Raising Cane's is just days away from opening its newest Central Florida location.
The popular chicken finger restaurant is set to open the doors to its Daytona Beach location for the first time on July 23. It'll be located at 2451 West International Speedway Blvd., adjacent to Daytona International Speedway. This marks the 16th Raising Cane's location in Florida and fourth in Central Florida.
"We’re shifting into high gear as we bring Raising Cane’s to Daytona Beach," Raising Cane's Area Leader of Restaurants Ashley Adams said in a news release. "With our legendary Chicken Fingers and local pride, we aim to make every visit a victory lap for our Customers."
The inside of the restaurant is decked out with NASCAR and racing-themed decor, like a Toni Breidinger Raising Cane's race suit and other pit crew memorabilia. Breidinger is a 25-year-old stock car racing driver and model who competes in the ARCA Manrds Series.
