Layne's Chicken Fingers Opens New Location in Midland
Layne's Chicken Fingers has officially announced the grand opening of its new Midland location, set for October 24, 2026. Known for its hand-breaded crispy chicken tenders and mouth-watering sauces, Layne's aims to spread its flavorful offerings in West Texas with this exciting new restaurant.
Celebration Details
The grand opening will start off with a bang, as the first 50 dine-in customers will receive free Layne's for an entire year—a tempting incentive sure to draw crowds. Additionally, the first day’s sales will benefit Midland Senior High School, reinforcing Layne's commitment to giving back to the community.
Rapid Expansion
Founded in 1994 in College Station, Texas, Layne's has steadily gained popularity across the U.S., capitalizing on its reputation for delicious chicken meals and customer satisfaction. Eli Cohen, the founder of C5 Restaurants, is leading this expansion as part of a larger development plan that includes adding up to 55 new restaurants in Texas and Arkansas by 2027.
“I’m thrilled to bring Layne’s to Midland,” Cohen expressed. “Each new opening presents us with the opportunity to introduce our brand to more communities. It’s an exciting time for us.”
Menu Offerings
The Midland location will feature Layne's signature menu items, including its beloved chicken finger meals, sandwiches, sides, and an array of unique dipping sauces such as the iconic house sauce, jalapeño ranch, honey mustard, BBQ, and gravy. One standout item is the chicken club, complete with brisket bacon and American cheese, sure to woo any chicken finger lover.
Continuing the Journey
This opening follows three recent locations launched by Cohen in Texas this year, bolstering Layne's presence in the state. By the end of October, Layne's will also introduce its first San Antonio location, making it a month of significant growth for the brand.
Garrett Reed, Layne’s Chief Executive Officer, highlighted the restaurant’s opening in Midland as another important milestone in the company’s growth strategy. “Eli and his team are committed to an ambitious development plan, and each new restaurant paves the way for increased brand recognition,” Reed commented.
