Layne’s Chicken Fingers to open 44 stores <\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The chain signed the deal with Eli Cohen, an experienced real estate and restaurant developer. According to the company in a Nov. 13 release<\/a>, the Texas market is now over 90% sold out, leaving room for expansion in just El Paso and a few smaller, single-unit territories.<\/p>\n The deal will expand Layne’s across West Texas, San Antonio and the Coastal Bend.\u00a0<\/p>\n Part of the agreement with Cohen will bring at least two new locations to Lubbock, with a third under consideration.\u00a0<\/p>\n Layne’s nears Texas saturation <\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n “Sealing an over-40-unit deal in our home state is a major milestone for us as we approach 100% market saturation across Texas,” said CEO Garrett Reed<\/a>. “And given our focus on real estate, the opportunity to pursue this expansion with a seasoned developer is even more meaningful.”<\/p>\n “When a franchisor has a strong culture and a clear playbook, it allows local teams like ours to focus on execution, leadership and community impact,” he said. “That combination of structure and autonomy is what makes the model work.”<\/p>\n The Source: Information in this article comes from Layne’s Chicken Fingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Food and Drink<\/a>Texas<\/a>Consumer<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Layne’s Chicken Fingers, the rapidly growing fast food joint that started as a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2409,3613,56,58,57,242,223,216,393],"class_list":{"0":"post-69296","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-consumer","9":"tag-food-drink","10":"tag-houston","11":"tag-houston-headlines","12":"tag-houston-news","13":"tag-lifestyle","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-tx","16":"tag-us"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
