Layne's Chicken Fingers

Soon to be FamousTM chicken finger franchise&nbsp;<a href="https://layneschickenfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchise-with-laynes-2730109" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Layne’s Chicken Fingers</a> isn’t following the same path that other chicken franchises have. With an intentional approach to growth, a dedication to protecting the brand and protecting the franchisee, and an incredible response from the markets it has already entered,&nbsp;<a href="http://1851franchise.com/layneschickenfingers/info">Layne’s</a> is thriving, and it’s attracting high-caliber franchisees who are excited to continue growing with the brand.Here’s why franchisees, from those who have newly launched to those with multiple units, love the brand:<h2>Incredible Growth and Performance in Local Markets</h2>Since opening its first franchised location in 2021 with owner&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mfatany?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchise-with-laynes-2730109" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Masroor Fatany</a>, Layne’s has grown to 30 operational locations and 300 units sold. Fatany is one of many satisfied franchisees continuing to grow with the brand — and even exceeding his development schedule.In addition to the support offered by the franchisor, the consistently warm welcomes they receive from the communities they enter make franchisees eager to continue growing.“I remember all of the excitement around the brand when we opened in Beaumont. We were the talk of the town in Facebook groups and on the local news, and we had a really long line,” Fatany said. “That location is directly across the street from a [Raising] Cane’s, and seeing a huge line of cars waiting for us when there is a respectable competitor right across the street made us feel good. We knew we were bringing a really great product to the market, and the response from the community was proof that we were really on to something.”<h2>Passionate, Founder-Led Culture</h2>Layne’s has stayed true to what makes it unique. Founded in College Station, Texas, the brand has built a cult-like following, and the people who lead it are instrumental in maintaining this. The founder of Layne’s remains involved in the brand to this day, and this has supported a level of brand integrity that can be hard to find elsewhere.“When we met the leadership team for the first time, we saw a group of people who were genuinely passionate,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-bergeson-31013314/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchise-with-laynes-2730109" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Josh Bergeson</a>, a Wisconsin franchisee. “Nothing was forced. It wasn’t like they were just trying to sell us a franchise. Everyone there seemed genuinely passionate about taking Layne’s from a small operation to a national presence, and they truly meant it. We could feel that.”That first impression left Bergeson confident the opportunity was about more than transactions — it was about joining a shared mission. “You can tell when people are just trying to sell you something,” he said. “This was different. This was, ‘We have something special, we want to share it with you, and we want you to be a part of it.’”<h2>A True Partnership</h2>The Layne’s leadership team did not pursue franchising to make money from franchise fees. They want to grow the Layne’s concept nationally, and they want to do it with the right people. Franchisees can feel this distinction in how they are supported.“It’s a group of people growing a brand and working toward the same goal, all pushing in the same direction,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylor-thomas-0875b780/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchise-with-laynes-2730109" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Taylor Thomas</a>, a multi-unit franchisee in Texas. “When you have that kind of support, you can do anything. You know that if you have a question, you can pick up the phone and call someone. You know that if you’re struggling, someone will be there to help you. That’s what makes it so special.”"In our industry, if you have a solid franchisor that genuinely cares about your success — not just their own scorecard — it motivates franchisees to push even harder," Fatany said. "Because we're trying to build something together. We're all in it together. We're all on the same team. And when you have that kind of partnership, the sky's the limit."<h2>A Business Model for Industry Veterans</h2>Layne’s strong unit economics and straightforward, streamlined business model have attracted seasoned operators looking for their next investment. Layne’s franchisees have been previously involved with or currently own units with other major brands like Subway, Whataburger, The Halal Guys, Wendy’s and Moe’s.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-davis-aa313436/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchise-with-laynes-2730109" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scott Davis</a>, a multi-brand franchisee with decades of experience, sees Layne’s as his “final hurrah.”“I’ve been associated with four different franchising brands. I’ve always considered myself a great operator, but not necessarily an idea guy,” Davis said. “Over the past 15 to 20 years, I’ve focused on finding a great business model with a strong franchisor to partner with. I use my operations background to successfully execute that model.”Whether it’s long lines in new markets or the collaborative “all in it together” spirit, the message from Layne’s franchisees is clear. The thoughtful strategy, authentic culture and true partnership model create a clear advantage for owners in a highly competitive market. For franchisees, Layne’s is the whole package: a beloved brand with a great team and an incredible growth trajectory.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>&nbsp;
