A Texas-based chicken restaurant chain, Layne’s Chicken Fingers, is expanding to Ohio with plans for four locations in the Dayton region. Franchisees Mauricio Blanco and Marvin Monroy are currently scouting potential sites in the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the city.
Blanco expressed their eagerness to launch the business, stating, “Our intention is to hit the ground running with this. We are working with a developer from North Carolina.” The franchisees aim to open their first Dayton location in a second-generation restaurant space, which will help speed up the construction and permitting process.
Once a suitable location is found, the process is expected to take about 90 days to secure the site, followed by an additional six to eight months to open the restaurant. The first Layne’s Chicken Fingers location in the Dayton area is set to open early next year.
Blanco explained that the decision to expand to Dayton was based on the success of their competition in the region.
“There’s a lot of data and information that helps you make a more informed decision on where should be a good territory, and it seems like the competition is doing well in Dayton,” he said.
The Dayton area already hosts a variety of fast-food chicken restaurants, including Big Chicken, Chick-fil-A, Church’s Texas Chicken, Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders, Hunny Bee’s, JJ Fish & Chicken, Krispy Krunchy Chicken, Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Popeye’s, and Raising Cane’s.
Layne’s Chicken Fingers will first open its Ohio location in Parma, where customers can enjoy chicken finger meals, available in both original and spicy varieties, paired with Layne’s signature sauce, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, and a 22 oz. drink.
