Raising Cane’s is opening this summer just down the street from Bridgewater Falls. Is Chick-fil-A going to lose customers? 

According to WorldPopulation.com,  there are about 52 Cane’s in Ohio compared to 75 Chick-fil-A stores. Cane’s is open later than Chick-fil-A closing at 11 pm instead of Chick-fil-A closing at 10 pm, plus Cane’s is open 7 days a week while Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays

Jenna Singleton, a sophomore, definitely has a favorite between the two. 

“Not only is it a newer restaurant than Chick-fil-A, but I think Cane’s is going to get more customers for sure,” Jenna said.  

    Rylie Mesman, another sophomore, thinks that the newness of Cane’s will draw in more customers but the fame will die out.

 “I feel like when it first opens Cane’s is definitely going to get more customers but eventually it will even out because it’s really not that good, “ Rylie said.  

Junior Megan Otis will choose Cane’s regardless of its hours.   

“The Cane’s sauce is the reason it’s my favorite fast food restaurant, I don’t really even like Chick-fil-A,” Megan said.  

  People need to remember Chick-fil-A has a famous sauce that they sell in full bottles too.

 “I like Cane’s better but I still think Chick-fil-A sauce is underrated, I always buy the big bottles from the supermarket,” Jenna said. 

However, the biggest difference is that Chick-fil-A has more options.  It has sandwiches, nuggets, strips, salads, wraps, etc.  On the other hand, Cane’s is limited to chicken strips, fries, and a side of Texas toast and their famous sauce. 

Byron Serce, a sophomore thinks Chick-fil-A isn’t going to lose any customers.  

“Cane’s only have one option for food plus the Chick-fil-A fries are way better,” Byron said.  

 Rylie disagrees ¨ There is no way Chick-fil-A is going to lose a significant amount of customers just because of canes, I don’t think they even compare.¨ 

Time will tell.
