A fast-casual national chain restaurant specializing in chicken fingers will soon replace the Nando’s in College Park.

Baton Rouge-based Raising Cane’s will move into the location at 7400 Baltimore Ave., across from city hall.

Started in 1996 near the Louisiana State University campus, the chain has a simple menu focusing on chicken fingers and chicken sandwiches. It also has tailgate specials of up to 100 chicken fingers.

The chain plans to open in College Park, its 10th location in the greater D.C. area, in August or September of next year, according to the Diamondback.

Nando’s Peri-Peri, a South African chain that served spicy grilled chicken, was at the location from 2015 until this summer. Before that, the space was occupied by Ratsie’s pizzeria.
