Layne’s Chicken Fingers to open second Richmond-area location in Henrico

Layne’s Chicken Fingers is planning to open its second Richmond-area restaurant in Henrico County Sept. 15.

The Texas-based chicken finger chain's new location will be at 8801 Staples Mill Road, joining an existing location in Ashland.

Henrico business owner Khurram Burney, who helped bring the Layne’s brand to Virginia, will operate the new restaurant. He also operates the Ashland location and has plans to open more locations in the state.

Layne’s specializes in chicken fingers and offers meals that include fries, Texas toast and the company's signature sauce. Its menu also includes chicken-finger sandwiches.

The company traces its roots to College Station, Texas, where the first Layne’s opened in 1994. The chain has since expanded beyond Texas through franchised locations in a number of states.
