I also want to welcome Raising Cane’s to the area.
- While I normally don’t go out and support chain restaurants, the opening crew from RC’s has been getting out and engaging the community. Not only is the new location a member of the Heights Chamber of Commerce, they also reached out to Lutheran High North Community Center at 3427 Alba Road. The team worked hard painting the facility as a service to the youth and the community at large. They also hired almost a dozen new employees from Lutheran High. I will always support businesses who support the community, so welcome to them and best of luck!
