Raising Cane's temporarily shuts down Massachusetts location due to "strong odor"
BOSTON – Raising Cane's, a popular chicken tender restaurant chain, is temporarily closing one Massachusetts location due to complaints about a "strong odor."
Raising Cane's location shut down
The location on Comm. Ave. in Allston was shut down temporarily after a failed health inspection, resulting from a "strong odor noted in the dining room" on December 17 and December 30.
Inspectors ordered the restaurant to track down the source of the odor and remedy it before they can reopen.
A Raising Cane's spokesperson gave a timeline for when they hope to reopen in a statement to WBZ-TV.
"This location is operated out of a building that was built in 1916 and in need of what qualifies as routine municipality maintenance, for which we're working closely with the city to address. We're planning to reopen between January 10 and 12 and look forward to continuing to serve students and Customers," the spokesperson said.
The Raising Cane's location, which is located near Boston University's Agganis Arena, has been open since 2009.
Where are there Raising Cane's in Massachusetts?
The chain has recently expanded its Massachusetts locations.
Raising Cane's opened on Boylston Ave. in April. Another location opened in Marlboro a month later.
In total, there are three in Boston, one in Marlboro, one in Medford, Methuen, and Seekonk, and another opening soon in Saugus.
New Hampshire will be getting its first Raising Cane's location soon. One is under construction on South Willow Street in Manchester.
