This project seems to be dead. This was just posted and appears Raising Canes is going to this site. That corner is going to be crazy busy, it’s bad enough as it is.

#NEW - It appears a Rasing Cane's Restaurant is coming to the former Family Foods Grocery Outlet property at 323 William S. Canning Boulevard in Fall River. According to a February filing with the Fall River Registry of Deeds, a lease agreement was signed by Raising Cane's Restaurant’s LLC., for the vacant site at 323 William S. Canning Boulevard.
In February of 2023, the Family Foods Grocery building at 323 William S. Canning Boulevard was demolished by the Procaccianti Group, with plans to construct a Neon Gas Station & Convenience Store on the property.
According to Nick Giacobbi, Director of Development at The Procaccianti Group, the Neon Marketplace was put on hold and a new development plan was in the works for the site.
“Several different retailers, restaurants, banks and other gas station entities have reached out showing interest in the prime piece of property at 323 William S. Canning Boulevard," stated Giacobbi in September.
The Procaccianti Group was in talks with a national quick service restaurant chain for a land lease at the site according to Giacobbi.
Dan Aguiar, Fall River’s City Planner and Engineer, also confirmed on a WSAR radio interview last year that a national restaurant chain was looking to expand into the Southcoast area and is actively pursuing the William S. Canning Boulevard site.
We now know Raising Cane's will be the new tenant at the site.”
