Raising Cane’s, the fast-food chain that specializes in chicken fingers, has opened its first Moreno Valley location.
The restaurant, nicknamed “Top Gun” in tribute to nearby March Air Reserve, is at 12625 Frederick St. in the Towngate Shopping Center, according to a statement on the city’s website.
About 160 people are expected to work there. This will be Raising Cane’s 73rd California restaurant.
“I am honored to welcome Raising Cane’s to the Moreno Valley community,” said Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez, who participated in the grand opening ceremony Monday along with other local officials and chamber of commerce members. “I’m confident they will fit in with our city.”
