Those in the “Path of Toast-tality” will also receive a free Texas toast and The Space Gal is set to make a pre-eclipse appearance at a Raising Cane’s in Dallas

In celebration of a rare occurrence that won’t grace the globe again until 2044, Raising Cane’s is fueling astronauts and earthlings alike with ONE LOVE® that is out of this world. To blast off the celebration, one lucky Customer will win Free Cane’s for 20 Years, which is sure to cure even the craziest Chicken Finger craving until the next total eclipse. Those in the “Path of Toast-tality” – where the full eclipse can be viewed – will receive a free Texas toast with every Combo purchased at one of the 190+ Restaurants along the path.

Among the millions expected to travel to Dallas to see the total eclipse is the queen of space herself: Emily Calandreilli, also known as The Space Gal, who is an MIT-engineer turned Emmy-nominated science TV host, New York Times Best Selling Author, and speaker. Having amassed more than 1.2M followers on TikTok and more than 670K followers on Instagram, The Space Gal rose to popularity as a featured correspondent on Netflix’s Bill Nye Saves the World and as executive producer and host of FOX’s Xploration Outer Space in addition to authoring numerous picture, science experiment, and chapter book series. Most recently, The Space Gal was seen at The White House doing Easter-themed experiments.

Beginning at 9 a.m. CT on April 8, Space Gal will greet fans, talk about all things outer space, and work a “shift” at Raising Cane’s at 7345 Gaston Ave as she trades beakers for Box Combos and tries her hand at bagging orders with orbital velocity.

If your eclipse day plans don’t find you in Dallas – or even if they do – stop by any Raising Cane’s along the “Path of Toast-tality” to snag a free Texas toast. For every transaction that includes a Combo, Customers will receive one free toast to fuel their eclipse day happenings.

The online entry site for Free Cane’s for 20 Years opens eclipse morning, April 8, at 12:01 a.m. ET and closes at 11:59 p.m. ET the same day. Entries are limited to one per Customer and each entry will receive a mobile code for a free toast valid April 8 through 14. The winner will be announced on or around April 10, 2024, and notified by email address or phone number provided during entry.

May the force be with you, earthlings!
