Raising Cane’s to replace Longmont’s La Madeleine

LONGMONT — The La Madeleine restaurant site in Longmont, which has sat empty since the cafe closed in 2018, could be transformed into a Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers.

The rapidly expanding Louisiana-based fast-casual chain has nine existing Colorado locations — and more than 470 worldwide — but the Longmont restaurant would be Raising Cane’s first in Boulder County. Currently the closest locations to the county are in Broomfield and Fort Collins.
