Todd Graves, CEO of Raising Cane's, revealed his preference for the Box Combo without coleslaw, opting for extra toast and sauce instead. He acknowledged coleslaw as a Southern staple but expressed his dislike for it. The viral TikTok post sparked discussions among customers, with some suggesting mac and cheese as a substitute. Raising Cane's has seen increased sales as younger customers move away from other chains due to economic factors. The brand ranks as the third-most-popular chicken restaurant in sales, following Chick-fil-A and Popeyes.
"I wanted a vegetable component to the meal, and coleslaw is a Southern thing. I appreciate a CEO who can admit he doesn't like something from their restaurants."
"As Gen Z and millennial customers steer away from chains like Chipotle, Cava, and Sweetgreen due to inflation, high housing costs, and flat-income growth, restaurants like Cane's and Dave's Hot Chicken have experienced greater sales and traffic growth."
