Raising Canes announced Wednesday that it will no longer present its case to take over the Norms at 470 N. La Cienega Blvd. The chicken chain was slated to present its case during the Cultural Heritage Commission meeting Thursday morning.
The oldest surviving Norms, built in 1957, is known for its famous Googie architecture. In 2015, it was designated a Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument.
After news broke that Raising Canes was considering potentially taking over the historic site, the public expressed displeasure with this possibility.
“We have heard the community’s concerns, and we are in discussions with Norm’s about the future of the site,” Raising Cane’s said in its brief letter.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the restaurant group that owns Raising Cane’s also owns the property where the 1957-built Norms currently stands.
Raising Cane’s has not said how it will proceed with that property or whether it will continue to lease it to Norms.
