Raising Cane’s brings its chicken fingers to Seven Corners

Chicken finger restaurant chain Raising Cane’s, which only recently began opening locations in the D.C. region, has opened its newest restaurant in Falls Church, Virginia, at the Seven Corners Shopping Center.

Grand openings attract long lines of customers, in part for the chicken, and in part for the opening day giveaways. As part of its Falls Church opening, Raising Cane’s also made a donation to Justice High School athletics.

Raising Cane’s menu is almost entirely versions of chicken finger combos with coleslaw and Texas Toast.

The chain now has seven locations in Maryland and 13 in Virginia, three of which are in Northern Virginia. It also has one restaurant in D.C., at Union Station, with plans for another in Georgetown.

Raising Cane’s was founded in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1996. It has more than 775 stores in 40 states, the Middle East and Guam, with plans to open as many as 100 new locations in the next year.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
