## Story

Houston, TX - Layne’s Chicken Fingers has opened its first drive-thru-only location in Houston. Masroor Fatany, an experienced franchisee, is the businessman behind the new operation.

“I grew up in the Houston area, and after transferring from UT Dallas, I graduated with my master's from Texas A&M in 2008. After graduating, I received my CPA license and started working with Ernst & Young but soon realized I wanted to own my own business,” said Fatany. “My introduction to franchising started with a garage door franchise, and soon after, I started franchising with The Halal Guys.”

“There has been remarkable demand from guests looking to get their food fast,” explained Samir Wattar, COO. “With substantial franchising and food service experience, Masroor is a prime candidate to launch in Houston.”
