And there is a franchisee that’s an investor who has other brands and wants to expand his portfolio. Every one of them is different. And that's where I believe I made the difference — I understood those two.”&nbsp;Wattar provided insights into the strategic vision behind Layne's Chicken Fingers' growth trajectory, discussing the company’s innovative marketing strategies, and commitment to maintaining quality standards while scaling operations. He also shared his perspective on franchisee relations, operational efficiency and the brand's plans for future expansion into new territories.You can watch and listen to the entire interview above, or on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4qDwJOJoe0&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=meet-the-zor-laynes-chicken-fingers-coo-samir-wattar-2725784" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a>.&nbsp;
