An opportunity to bring a new fried chicken experience to Fayetteville is now open to business owners.
Franchise Layne’s Chicken Fingers is looking for a well vetted franchise owner in the Fayetteville area with a goal to bring at least five new locations to the area.
Started in College Station, Texas by Founder Mike Layne in 1994, the franchise is now looking to continue expanding into new territories. The brand is currently present in nine states nationwide with at least 34 locations as of August 2025. In 2017 the brand was bought by business partners Garrett Reed and Matthew O’Reilly who now serve as CEO and franchise liaison, respectively.

In 2024 we really started to grow, we opened six stores. This year, we’ll open 22-23 stores, and so the growth, it’s always been planned, but it was just us getting the infrastructure, getting all the training, and all of that kind of stuff,” shared Reed…
