Early life
Graves was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Graves graduated from Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge.[1]
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
Graves and long-time friend Craig Silvey used Silvey's business plan course at LSU to create their business plan.[2]
Graves opened Raising Cane's near the North Gates of Louisiana State University on Highland Road in 1996.[2] By 2022, the company expanded to more than 600 restaurants in the U.S. and the Middle East.[3][4]
The restaurants are named after Raising Cane I, Graves’ dog at the time of founding the first restaurant. They are headquartered in Baton Rouge.[2]
Personal life
Graves and his wife, Gwen, have two children and reside in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with their yellow Labrador, Raising Cane III.[5]
Collections
An avid collector, Graves has loaned a 66-million-year-old triceratops skull to the Louisiana Arts and Science Museum.[6] He has also loaned the hearse that carried Martin Luther King, Jr. to exhibits across the country.[7]
