ORLANDO, Fla. - Raising Cane's is looking to expand its footprint in Orlando once again with the opening of a new location near UCF.
Orange County documents obtained by FOX 35 show the new location will be found at 12025 Collegiate Way, just across the street from the University of Central Florida's main campus.
That location is currently home to Del Taco.
The fast-casual chicken finger restaurant confirmed the new location to FOX 35. Construction is slate to begin in December 2024, with a restaurant opening before the end of 2025, a spokesperson for Raising Cane's told FOX 35. An exact opening date has not yet been revealed.
It also remains unclear at this time with Del Taco plans to close.
The proposal includes building plans for the new restaurant, which calls for tearing down the Del Taco location and building a Raising Cane's in the middle of the 0.82-acre lot to make room for its double drive-thru.
Documents show that this location has been in the works since October. The plan was received by the Development Review Committee on Monday morning. Next steps include a review of the project and several hearings before it's approved.
