Layne’s Chicken Fingers, the Texas “Born and Breaded” chicken finger franchise, has kicked off the third quarter with a bang. In July, three more franchise agreements were signed, bringing the total count of restaurants sold to over 300 as the team works toward its next milestone of 50 restaurants open.
In July, for the first time in Layne’s history, the brand opened two restaurants on the same day. A second Arkansas location was opened in Little Rock, and a second Wisconsin location was opened in Appleton, both on July 14th.
The brand’s first franchisee, Masroor Fatany, opened his newest location in Mission Bend on July 19th, bringing the brand’s operational restaurant count to 30.
“Opening two restaurants, in two different states, on the same day is a testament to the strength of our support model and team,” said CEO Garrett Reed. “We pride ourselves on ensuring our existing franchisees continue to receive the support they need as we expand the system, and our committed support teams are crucial to bringing this to fruition.”
The three franchise agreements signed bring the total number of restaurants awarded in 2025 to 63, a further testament to the demand for the concept among investors. The newest agreements represent 12 restaurants to be developed across Louisiana, Oregon and West Texas.
“This year, we’ve seen interest from franchisees with major brands like Arby’s, Wendy’s, Freddy’s and Walk-On’s,” Reed said. “This fact, combined with the continued growth of and investment by existing franchisees, speaks to owners’ satisfaction with their investments and our momentum as a growing brand.”
As Layne’s works toward national expansion, the team is now targeting growth in New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Carolinas, Florida and Michigan. While growth is a key goal for the team, they also remain committed to identifying and partnering with franchisees who are truly a great fit, and those who will contribute to the strength of the system and long-term success of the brand.
