"We're a fast-food restaurant, which means you get your food quick," Reed said. "But what differentiates us is we're a hand-battered, cook-to-order product. So you're getting premium quality at fast-food rates and times."Once the right franchise partner is identified, Layne's aims to open new locations within six months. The company's expansion strategy focuses first on finding the right operators who understand their local communities, followed by selecting optimal locations. Grand openings typically feature community celebrations, including giveaways such as free chicken for a year for select customers.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lehighvalleynews.com/arts-culture/food-and-drink/laynes-chicken-fingers-soon-to-be-famous-in-lehigh-valley-texas-based-chain-wants-to-open-in-allentown-other-areas?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=laynes-chicken-fingers-targets-lehigh-valley-in-eastern-expansion-push-2728608" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/layneschickenfingers">https://1851franchise.com/layneschickenfingers</a>.
