TYLER, Texas — A new chicken finger joint is slated to open in Tyler by the end of this year. Tyler native Taylor Thomas, who has a wealth of experience in the franchise industry, will open the first Layne's Chicken Fingers in Tyler and has plans to bring 25 other locations across the East Texas region.
Layne's Chicken Fingers was founded in 1994 in College Station and earned a reputation as a "Texas A&M legend known for its small-town charm, friendly service, iconic chicken fingers and secret sauce," according to a press release from 1851 Franchise.
With the Tyler location set to open by the end of 2024, Thomas is committed to a long-term vision of expansion, as he’s signed on to open 25 stores in East Texas over the next decade. The address of the Tyler location has not yet been announced.
