LOGO

The Raising Cane's logo is a takeoff on the logo for another business that had been located at the site of the original Cane's in Baton Rouge, Louisiana -- Wolf's Bakery. The mural featuring Wolf's logo was discovered when the building was being remodeled for Cane's, and is still intact on the wall there

WHERE DOES THE NAME COME FROM?
Graves, having previously worked as a salmon fisherman in Alaska to raise money to open the first Raising Cane's restaurant, was going to name the chain Sockeyes Chicken Fingers, after the Sockeye salmon he fished for. He was later convinced to name it after his dog, a yellow labrador, "Raising Cane", called "Cane's" for short.[2] Currently, the mascot for the restaurant is Raising Cane II.
