SAN MARCOS, TX — Layne’s Chicken Fingers, the fan-favorite chicken franchise founded in College Station and based in Dallas-Fort Worth, is coming to San Marcos, Texas. Opening in February at 1617 Aquarena Springs Drive, the new location will give area residents a chance to find out what has made Layne’s an iconic name in Texas. (Hint: chicken fingers don’t get much crispier than these.)
Noah Kara, a Houston native and second-generation entrepreneur, is opening the San Marcos location as part of a multi-unit deal he signed with Layne’s Chicken Fingers. After working in the corporate world and learning from mentors in the franchising space, Kara saw an opportunity with Layne’s that aligned with his passion for food service and vision for building a legacy business. He was particularly drawn to Layne’s family-oriented culture and saw potential in expanding the brand in this market.
“I’ve always wanted to build something lasting, and Layne’s gives me the chance to set up a family enterprise that could continue for generations,” said Kara. “San Marcos is the perfect market to start that journey. This location is just the beginning of my plans to grow with Layne’s.”
The menu will feature irresistible twists on classic fried chicken fare, including a three-finger chicken sandwich served on Texas toast, a fried chicken club sandwich with bacon and cheddar and of course, chicken fingers served with insanely addictive sauces like buttermilk ranch, honey mustard, BBQ and Layne’s — a tangy, zesty in-house creation that has become a go-to among loyal customers.
Layne’s new San Marcos location is the latest addition to the fast-growing franchise brand’s roster of thriving restaurants, including 13 in Texas.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Noah to the Layne’s family and expand into San Marcos,” said Samir Wattar, chief operating officer. “As we continue to grow throughout Texas, we look for franchisees like Noah who are passionate, driven, and share our commitment to bringing exceptional food and customer experience to new communities.”
The franchise has plans to reach 100 units in markets across the country within the next three years and is actively recruiting franchisees who want to join the growing brand. Top markets for development include Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and Florida.
ABOUT LAYNE’S CHICKEN FINGERS
Founded in 1994 in College Station, the original location became a Texas A&M legend known for its small-town charm, friendly service, iconic chicken fingers and secret sauce. While opening corporate locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the leadership team focused on fine tuning its operations and starting to franchise.
Franchise opportunities range from $446,500 to $1,015,000 with different buildout options available. Learn more about franchising here.
