Here are all the chains calling Tampa Bay home in 2022.
Raising Cane’s
2525 Gulf to Bay Blvd., ClearwaterKnown for American delicacies like chicken tenders and crinkle cut fries, Raising Cane’s made its Tampa Bay debut in January of 2023. Although chicken tenders dipped in its tangy signature sauce are the name of the Raising Canes’ game, popular sides on its menu also include coleslaw and Texas toast. Currently, the only other Raising Cane’s storefronts in the entirety of the Sunshine State are located in Homestead and Miami.
