The restaurant is planning a series of giveaways for their grand opening on Sept. 10. A spokesperson said people can register for a chance to win free Cane's for a year. Guests must arrive at the new Simsbury location between 8 and 9 a.m. to enter. No purchase is necessary.
The first Raising Cane's in Connecticut opened earlier this year in Enfield. The food chain's opening drew hundreds of people and caused massive lines.
