Fast-casual restaurant Raising Cane’s plans to open its second Chattanooga eatery by entering the highly competitive Gunbarrel Road market, a developer said.
Work on the restaurant is expected to start soon at the site of a former car wash at 1833 Gunbarrel Road, Bassam Issa, a Chattanooga developer, said.
“It’s a national chain. If you enter Chattanooga, you have to come to Gunbarrel,” he said in a phone interview.
Issa said he expects the restaurant will open later this year at the location that’s near the Target shopping center.
Raising Cane’s opened its first Chattanooga location on Highway 153 in Hixson just a couple of months ago. That site formerly held the Rib & Loin eatery for many years.
