A Long Island story

Carle Place isn’t first in line. Long Island’s first Cane’s is going up in Commack at 2 Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, the old McDonald’s spot, with an early 2027 opening planned.

A third one is in the works too. Cane’s is eyeing the former Houlihan’s at 901 Broadhollow Road in Farmingdale’s Republic Plaza, but that timeline is still to be determined.

Founder Todd Graves started the chain near LSU back in 1996. Now it has hundreds of spots, and Long Island is finally getting its turn.

We’ll share the exact date here and on air as soon as it’s announced. Keep it locked to WLIT.FM, Long Island Tonight Radio.
