Before Jawad Rawra’s American Dream was set in motion, he spent his early career working 12-hour shifts, seven days a week at AT&T Wireless — picking up additional odd jobs in between to make ends meet. In 2007, after facing rejections from major telecommunications giants, he got an opportunity to become a T-Mobile Premium Retailer. What started as one location has now grown to 14 different states.

After years of successfully running his telecom business, he expanded his footprint in 2016 by partnering with hospitality brands such as Marriott, Hilton & Hyatt. To further his vision Jawad decided it was time to look into properties that would move the dial on his ultimate goal: to serve the community. When he thought of Layne’s, the beloved Texas-born brand known for its crispy chicken fingers and signature “secret sauce,” he knew it was the perfect fit.

“During the journey of diversifying my portfolio, I was looking into different QSR industries, and Layne’s always stood out,” said Jawad. “Anytime I have taken my family or friends to a Layne’s restaurant, everyone raves about the quality and taste.”

The menu will feature twists on classic fried chicken fare, including a three-finger chicken sandwich served on Texas toast, a fried chicken club sandwich with bacon and cheddar and of course, chicken fingers served with insanely addictive sauces like buttermilk ranch, honey mustard, BBQ and Layne’s — a tangy, zesty in-house creation that has become a go-to among loyal customers.
