Gurnee’s new Raising Cane’s will kick off its grand opening celebration at 10 a.m. Caniacs will want to join the celebration because the new restaurant will accept entries from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for its “Lucky 20″ drawing to award 20 Customers ages 13 and older Free Cane’s for a year. Winners will be contacted by Oct. 29.

This year, Raising Cane’s was one of just three restaurant brands named to Forbes’ ”Best Employers For New Grads” Top 100 list, and the company’s “fast-paced, fun culture and growth opportunities” earned it a spot on Glassdoor’s coveted ”100 Best Places to Work in the U.S.” list in 2021.

Cane’s is still seeking enthusiastic individuals to join its Gurnee Crew. Interested candidates should apply at WorkAtCanes.com or text RCJOBS to 97211. Applicants will be contacted to set up an interview after applying.
