The chicken finger franchise business Layne’s Chicken Fingers is quickly growing its store footprint in its home state and beyond.
The company signed five franchise agreements in the third quarter, including a 44-unit deal and an eight-unit deal to expand in western Texas, a three-unit deal that marks the brand’s entry to Oregon and a 13-unit addition to its Wisconsin franchisees’ already multi-unit development agreement.
“The close of the third quarter was yet another milestone that marked the strength of our growth and Layne’s increasing appeal nationwide,” said Layne’s CEO Garrett Reed. “Sealing a landmark 44-unit deal in our home state – which means the Texas market is now 95 per cent sold out – and expanding with existing owners in our system is a testament to the investment opportunity.”
Founded in College Station, Texas in 1994, Layne’s has opened 14 new restaurants so far this year, including seven in the third quarter. The chain operates approximately 50 locations in total.
