FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Raising Cane’s Opens First Perris Location with Grand Celebration
PERRIS, Calif. (April 22, 2025) —– The City of Perris is proud to welcome Raising Cane’s to its vibrant business community following the successful grand opening of its very first Perris location on April 15, 2025, at 239 Old Nuevo Road. The popular fast-casual chain—famous for its chicken finger meals and signature Cane’s Sauce®—was met with enthusiasm as residents turned out in force for a day of celebration, giveaways, and community performances.
The festivities kicked off early with a “Lucky 20” drawing where 20 guests won Free Cane’s for a Year, followed by high-energy performances from the Perris High School Pep Squad and Folklorico Dance Team. A live DJ kept the energy flowing throughout the day, and local mascot “Thunder” from the Lake Elsinore Storm brought smiles and swag to guests in the afternoon. The first 100 guests to purchase a combo received a commemorative hat and free Box Combo card.
In keeping with Raising Cane’s commitment to local engagement, the company also presented $1,000 donations to both Perris High School and the Southern California Railway Museum, celebrating its deepening ties with the community.
“We’re excited to welcome Raising Cane’s to the Perris community,” said City Manager Clara Miramontes. “Their investment reflects Perris’ ongoing growth and the value we place on attracting businesses that engage with and give back to our residents.”
Strategically located off the 215 Freeway, the new restaurant features décor that pays homage to Perris landmarks such as the Perris Auto Speedway and Lake Perris, blending hometown pride with the brand’s signature atmosphere. The new location is open Sunday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 a.m.
Raising Cane’s joins a growing lineup of restaurants and retailers that continue to shape Perris into a thriving destination for both commerce and community.
The City of Perris encourages everyone to visit the new Raising Cane’s, support local, and savor the ONE LOVE® that has made this brand a nationwide favorite.
