Raising Cane’s has two Florida restaurant openings on its November schedule, with one set for North Miami Beach on November 9 and another planned for Jacksonville on November 23. The timing puts both additions on the calendar before Thanksgiving, when the chain says its restaurants will be closed for the holiday.
North Miami Beach opens first
The first of the two Florida locations is scheduled for 14025 Biscayne Blvd. in North Miami Beach. Raising Cane’s has listed November 9, 2026, for that opening, and the company’s own promotion page for the site also names that date and address.
That official promotion page adds one detail for customers planning an opening day visit. Raising Cane’s says the first 100 people to buy a combo meal for dine in, excluding the kids combo, will receive a gift that includes a branded item and a Be Our Guest Card for one free Box Combo on a later visit. The company lists the approximate retail value of each gift as $17.00.
The North Miami Beach site has also shown up in the company’s hiring materials. A Raising Cane’s crew posting dated October 8 lists the same Biscayne Boulevard address, which lines up with the company’s preopening staffing push.
For home cooks and busy families, the practical takeaway is simple. A new nearby takeout option can ease a meal decision during a crowded shopping month, especially in the days leading into Thanksgiving travel and grocery runs.
Jacksonville follows on November 23
The second Florida opening on the chain’s November calendar is 4863 Gate Pkwy in Jacksonville. The NewsBreak reference report says that restaurant is scheduled for November 23, 2026, at The Markets at Town Center, and Raising Cane’s official location directory currently lists the Gate Parkway restaurant as “Coming Soon!”
The Jacksonville site is notable because it is not a ground up build, according to the reference report. It is a conversion of a former Pollo Tropical restaurant, with local development records cited in the source material describing interior and exterior work, updated menu boards, and reuse of the patio and drive thru lane.
Raising Cane’s has also posted management hiring for the Gate Parkway address. A company job listing dated October 15 names 4863 Gate Pkwy in Jacksonville, another sign that the location is moving through the staffing phase ahead of opening.
Jacksonville customers should keep one detail straight. Raising Cane’s official Jacksonville directory shows three local entries: the existing Merchants Way restaurant, plus coming soon listings for Gate Parkway and San Jose Boulevard. The San Jose Boulevard location is separate and does not have a November opening date in the source material.
What the Florida expansion means
These two restaurants are part of a broader November expansion plan. The reference report says Raising Cane’s has a 12 location opening schedule spanning 10 states this month, including first restaurants in Brick, New Jersey, Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
In Florida, the near term impact is concentrated in two specific markets, northern Miami-Dade County and Jacksonville’s Town Center area. Those are the confirmed cities in the source material, and Raising Cane’s has not publicly tied any other Florida November opening dates to this same schedule.
The menu angle remains straightforward because the chain keeps a tight focus on chicken finger meals. The reference report describes the core lineup as chicken fingers, crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, Cane’s Sauce, drinks, and combo meals, which helps set expectations for shoppers deciding whether the stop fits into a holiday week routine.
Anyone planning an opening day visit should still confirm hours and opening status with the restaurant. The dates in the sources are scheduled opening dates, not a claim that either Florida restaurant is already serving customers.
