About Me

Todd Graves founded fried chicken finger fast-food chain Raising Cane's. Graves came up with the concept for a restaurant serving only chicken finger meals while in college. A professor gave his idea the lowest grade in the class and he couldn't get bank financing, so he worked as a boilermaker and salmon fisherman to save up cash. He launched Raising Cane's in 1996, using his savings and an SBA loan. It's now a fast-growing, $5.1 billion (sales) business serving chicken tenders across some 900 locations in 42 states.
