The site of the new restaurant in Washington Twp. most recently housed a Golden Dragon Buffet & Grill, and, before that, a Ryan’s Steakhouse. The former restaurant structure was demolished to pave the way for construction of the new Raising Cane’s.

The Ohio 725 restaurant will seat 92 inside and will employ 45 to 65, Morgan has said.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers operates multiple restaurants in the Columbus and Cincinnati areas, and opened a restaurant in Fairfield in October 2016. Plans call for adding more Dayton-area locations, Morgan has said.

The chain prides itself on a limited menu and a simple concept, focused on chicken fingers, made “fresh, never frozen,” marinated for 24 hours, then battered and cooked to order. Also featured on the menu are crinkle-cut fries, cole slaw, Texas Toast and sauces that are made in-house every day.
Chains such as Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen and Chick-fil-A have been in expansion mode in the region, and local startup Mike’s Nashville Hot also has opened new locations in Dayton’s south suburbs, entering a Dayton-area market that already has multiple KFC and Lee’s Famous Recipe fried-chicken restaurants.
