Raising Cane's is opening in the heart of Music City, opening doors to a flagship restaurant in Nashville at the corner of Broadway and Third Avenue North. The restaurant pays homage to country music legends with city-inspired flair from local artists and designers, such as Hatch Show Print Shop, Ranger Stitch and James Willis, according to a company press release.

In celebration of the city's history, the restaurant also features a wall with a horse-riding cowboy made from 1.2 million rhinestones; a Johnny and June Cash tribute booth, a Loretta Lynn-signed sequin top and one of her guitars. Customers are greeted by a 5-foot-6 tall statue of Cane III — Raising Cane's yellow Labrador mascot and namesake — wearing her flashy red nudie-style suit. Customers will also notice a hanging art installation from artist Michael Murphy, who used 75 individual steel pieces of various designs to create a three-dimensional number "one" and "heart" in honor of Cane's "one love" branding. Over 250 disco balls hang throughout the store as a nod to Raising Cane's first restaurant, where owner and founder Todd Graves hung a disco ball to cover a skylight, becoming a design element in every restaurant since.

Raising Cane's has over 800 locations.
