dunno, however, Todd is a graduate of the University of Georgia - a lot of folks think he is a LSU grad - still a good guy - not a douche.

Since you ask dumba$$, I'm 5' 9" and 150lbs.

I don't care if it is the largest combo they have, chicken fingers shouldn't be over $10 with tax.

Todd Graves didn't start by buying into a franchise. Maybe you shouldn't either.

I can remember when Little Caesars nearly went under and they switched to those Hot n Ready pizzas. They wanted 15 grand to start a franchise. I tried to get my moronic family to invest in one but they wouldn't listen.

As far as the cost to open a Canes, must companies have a link on their site with that information.

Places like this typically don't make a lot of money. In order to make real good money with something like this you'll need a small chain of them. I don't know about Little Casears in particular but in general franchises are either a person buying themselves a risky and shitty job or someone who owns a network of locations making decent to great money.

Considering the lot that they put the Sonic on by LSU, East Boyd & Burbank sold for $800,000, I wouldn't doubt you would need a few dollars to open a Canes. They tend to put Canes in high traffic areas..

if that helps. Best of luck with that.


Canes is EXTREMELY GENEROUS as far as giving back to the community. Every school function I throw, canes is there to donate drinks, cups, and as many kids meal certificates as I want. For example, for one school, I picked up 500 last month and 500 this month. Todd is definitely not cheap. I remain impressed with his generousity.

Word of Advice: Never come to the OT and ask a "Business Question." Half of the guys on this forum still live in their mother's house.

Here's a better place

I remember Bailey's chicken finger place south of campus right around the same time as Cane's on the north side of campus.

I always thought Bailey's was better, and didn't understand why Cane's was the one that took off, unless there was some business acumen I'm not aware going on that made the difference. For taste, quality, price, Bailey's was better.

I bartended with Todd when I was at LSU. Offered me a share in Canes for like 10 g's. Man I wish I had that decision to make over. Oh and btw he was a good guy not sure where the douche stuff is coming from

My kids all worked there in high school. They were the only place in Denham that let them work around sports schedules with no attitude.

Actually, I know the guy who owns 3 of them in Lexington. He is doing quite well.

I hate when people won't just part with $15 grand in personal assets on high-risk investments.
