Career
During his time at the university, young Todd Graves had a business idea, and many of the professors and students believed that his idea would one day work. To perfect and develop his business idea, Graves started working as a fry cook. When he went to various banks to pitch his idea, there was no bank in town that wanted to support him, as no one saw a profit from it. Some of the bank workers even gave Graves some piece of advice, like to give up on his business arrangement, go out and find some real job just like any other living human being on this planet.
However, Todd Graves still believed that his idea would work, and he didn’t let anyone beat him down. On the contrary, he was more than determined to make anyone regret not believing in him and became extremely motivated to continue with his work. Graves worked on numerous jobs just so he can earn money and save it on the side, so that one day when he got enough, he would start his own business.
Raising Cane’s first restaurant Todd Graves opened in Baton Rouge, his home town, but he didn’t have enough money to open and maintain the business on his own, so he soon realized that he would need some help. His friend Craig Silvey was the one to aid him, and the two opened the restaurant in 1996. The name Raising Cane’s came after Graves’ yellow geographical region dog named Raising Cane. In the beginning, Graves and Silvey earned just $30 the first month after the official opening. However, the business slowly grew bigger and bigger, and now Graves owns over 360 restaurant chains. Most of them are found in the United States of America, and there are a couple of them in Bahrain, Kuwait, and some other parts of Asia. In 2016 Graves opened up to 59 restaurants, and in 2018 an amazing 80 restaurants, and most of them are located in the south and southwest region of the United States of America.
What is distinctive about Raising Cane’s is that their menu is based primarily on chicken fingers and French-fried potato sandwich. There is also a kids’ meal on the menu, as well as an American state toast. The reason why Graves is so triumphant in his restaurant business is that the minimalistic menu, simplicity of meals and its potency are so refreshing and tasteful that there are millions of people out there who are enjoying his food on a daily basis.
