He received the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.under30ceo.com\/story-behind-raising-canes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> lowest grade in the class<\/a> because the professor believed it would fail. While trying to get loans for the business plan, the banks also rejected Todd\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/best-diners-bergen-county-new-jersey\/\">The Best Diners in Bergen County, New Jersey<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, after a year of working as a boilermaker and then a fisherman, Todd received a small business loan and began to build his restaurant. The first location opened in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1996 at the North Gates of Louisiana State University.<\/p>\n<p>Following years of success, Raising Cane\u2019s now has around <a href=\"https:\/\/locations.raisingcanes.com\/\">988 locations nationwide.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Coming to New Jersey<\/h2>\n<p>New Jersey is home to eight operating Raising Cane\u2019s restaurants, with additional sites coming to Linden and Brick Township. Raising Cane\u2019s locations in <a href=\"https:\/\/locations.raisingcanes.com\/nj\">New Jersey include<\/a> Burlington, Cherry Hill, Deptford, Edison, Fairfield, Glassboro, Marlton, and Turnersville.<\/p>\n<p>The Paramus restaurant will be the first Raising Cane\u2019s in Bergen County and will join Fairfield and the upcoming Linden location as the chain continues expanding across North Jersey.<\/p>\n<h2>What We Know About the Paramus Location<\/h2>\n<p>Raising Cane\u2019s is taking over the building that used to house furniture store Stickley, which has now relocated to the Paramus Design Center on Route 17. A <a href=\"https:\/\/jerseydigs.com\/raising-canes-opening-paramus\/\">limited liability franchise<\/a> associated with the chicken company recently bought the two properties at this location. The sale totaled $7.1 million for the two properties, which span about 1.72 acres, according to LoopNet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/newjersey\/best-farm-table-restaurants-new-jersey\">The Best Farm-to-Table Restaurants in New Jersey<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In addition to made-to-order chicken tenders, Raising Cane\u2019s has a selection of coleslaw, <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/canton-rodeo-korean-bbq-paramus-nj\/\">Texas toast<\/a>, crinkle-cut fries, and chicken finger sandwiches.
