Layne's Chicken Fingers will open a location in Beaumont, Texas, in October under the helm of franchisee Masroor Fatany, according to a press release.
Fatany owns and operates five The Halal Guys units and will bring his expertise to his Layne's location.
"I am thrilled to be opening Layne's in Beaumont," Fatany said in the release. "It has been incredible to see how supportive the corporate team is and how much they want to see franchisees succeed. Post-pandemic, the simple menu has been thriving, and the brand has retained their young audience. Knowing it is good food at a good price, I am hoping we can cater to the nearby college students."
"We're thrilled to have connected with Masroor, who will be a valued asset to the Layne's team. He has a clear excitement about bringing this brand to Beaumont, and we couldn't be happier to be on this journey with him," Samir Wattar, chief operating officer, said in the release. "This is another great step for the Layne's Chicken Finger system."
The brand has plans to open 100 units in the next four years. Top markets for development include Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and Florida.
