DMA Welcomes Raising Cane's

DMA welcomes Raising Cane's® to its national distribution network. Raising Cane's® concept is simple and unique as they only have ONE LOVE—quality chicken finger meals.

Their focus is to serve only the highest quality product quickly and conveniently. They use only fresh, never frozen chicken tenderloins.

Founded by Todd Graves, Raising Cane's® first location opened in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1996. The chain now has over 92 restaurants located in over 13 states.  It is ranked as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in the United States.

Shawn Jenkins, Vice President-Purchasing, comments on Raising decision to move to DMA: “When we were looking to make our supply chain more efficient, DMA delivered a solution that consolidated our distribution program under a single, uniform platform. DMA also provides us with a web-based technology platform that gives us near-real time supply chain visibility and contract management capability."

Also commenting on the new relationship, Bob Sala, DMA CEO, said, “We are proud of the solution that we created for Raising and look forward to enhancing our partnership through collaborative innovation.”
