Rumours had been spreading that Raising Cane’s, the much-loved American fast food chain, had opened for business.
The restaurant offer a range of meals with their chicken fingers at the focus which you can pair with sides such as crinkle cut chips, Texas toast, coleslaw and their own dipping sauce.
However, much to the dismay of fans, the shopping centre set the record straight in a statement.
Taking to Facebook, The Square clarified that there are no plans to bring Raising Cane’s to the centre, calling the rumours “fake news.”
And it went on to remind visitors to check their website for an up-to-date list of stores and restaurants before heading over.
They said: “While we would love to welcome Raising Cane’s to The Square someday, unfortunately the online reports and social media rumours are fake news!!
“There is no Raising Cane’s at The Square.
“Check our website for our full list of shops and restaurants before visiting.”
And it’s not the first time rumours have circulated over the fast food chain opening in Ireland.
Last year, Raising Cane’s fans got excited as brand new social media pages were set up claiming to be for a new Irish joint.
The fast food chain is famous for their chicken finger dishes and one-of-a-kind dipping sauce.
Long-standing rumours
A @rasingcanesdublin TikTok page appeared on social media and shared a video with the exciting news.
In the video, the account wrote: “Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers coming to Dublin Ireland.
“Coming December.”
The video is captioned: “We’re proud to announce that Raising Cane’s will be coming to Dublin, Ireland in December of this year.”
They also shared a second video to the TikTok page writing: “See you soon.”
Both videos show off delicious chicken finger meals which is famously the only option on their menu.
However, with no official statement from the fast food joint and no Irish location opening up. The videos were later deemed fake by fans.
People have taken to the comment section of the Square’s Facebook post to share their disappointment.
One person wrote: ” I knew it was too good to be true.”
Another said: “False alarm.”
