The Legend of Layne’s Chicken Fingers, with CEO Garrett Reed
Founded in 1994 in College Station, the original Layne’s Chicken Fingers became a Texas A&M cult-favorite known for its small-town charm, friendly service, iconic chicken fingers, and secret sauce. The brand has since grown past 20 stores, seen same-store sales jump 9 percent, and guest counts 7 percent. With corporate development continuing, franchising is entering the picture, too. Reed joins QSR editorial director Danny Klein to discuss the rapid development and how Layne’s is thriving in one of the hottest categories in quick service.
