Layne’s Chicken Fingers, the American restaurant brand, plans to enhance its footprint by opening 15 new establishments in South Florida, aligning with its strategic expansion initiative.
Franchisees Shahmeer Alam and Yves Jodesty are set to open restaurants across Fort Lauderdale, Broward, Miami, and Palm Beach County. Their ambitious plan involves launching one to two venues each year.
Alam said, “Our goal is to be the number one South Florida franchise for Layne’s. We have a large market consisting of Miami, Broward and Palm Beach County and ultimately, we’d like to take that market and build onto the rest of the state if we’re able to.”
As part of Layne’s Chicken Fingers’ ambitious strategy to expand, the newly added South Florida locations contribute to their goal of opening 100 establishments by 2027.
Founded in 1994 in College Station, the brand has gained recognition for its chicken fingers and signature secret sauce.

After streamlining its operations at corporate locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the leadership team is currently in the process of actively recruiting franchisees, specifically targeting markets in Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, and Florida.
Layne’s Chicken Fingers chief operating officer Samir Wattar said, “We’re thrilled to have connected with Shahmeer and Yves, who will be valued assets to the Layne’s team.
“They have a clear excitement about bringing this brand to South Florida, and we couldn’t be happier to be on this journey with them. This is another great step for the Layne’s Chicken Finger system.”
In January 2024, Layne’s Chicken Fingers announced its intention to open a new location in Houston, Texas.
Located at 2359 S Shepherd, the new venue was officially opened on January 20th by franchisee Masroor Fatany.
The menu features a variety of offerings, including a fried chicken club sandwich with bacon and cheddar, a three-finger chicken sandwich served on Texas toast, and chicken fingers paired with sauces like buttermilk ranch, honey mustard, BBQ, and Layne’s own.
