Restaurant known for chicken fingers opening new Michigan location in Ann Arbor

ANN ARBOR, MI -- Ann Arbor will be a new Michigan location for a restaurant known for fried chicken fingers with a signature sauce.

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is set to become an anchor tenant in the Vic Village South high-rise on South University Avenue, according to Jim Chaconas of Colliers International Ann Arbor, whose commercial real estate group helped secure the deal.

“We are grateful for our partnership with the owner of Vic Village South, through which we successfully collaborated to secure Raising Cane’s as an anchor tenant,” Chaconas wrote in a statement. “Raising Cane’s will be an invaluable addition to the retail landscape of Vic Village South. We are honored to have played a role in securing its future at this prominent location.”

Officials with Raising Cane’s did not respond to requests for comment.

The restaurant is known for its fried chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast and signature Cane’s sauce. It has locations nationwide, but only one Michigan restaurant is currently open in East Lansing.

Raising Cane’s is one of the development’s three ground-floor commercial spaces. Chaconas said the other two spaces are in the process of being filled.

Vic Village South is a 13-story high-rise that will bring luxury-branded housing for university students in fall 2024. Oakland County-based Hughes Properties is behind the development and also confirmed Raising Cane’s is coming to the space.
