🍗 Finger lickin' Parma

Cuyahoga County • April 22, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Texas-based Layne's Chicken Fingers is flocking to Ohio, with its first location set to open in Parma this May. The arrival adds another contender to Northeast Ohio's increasingly crowded chicken scene, promising specialized finger offerings for locals who apparently can't get enough breaded poultry. While details remain sparse about the exact Parma location, this expansion marks the chain's strategic push beyond its Lone Star State roots.

In the realm of community health, University Hospitals and Cleveland Clinic are joining forces for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 26, offering safe disposal options for unused medications across the region. Meanwhile, CHN Housing Partners is giving its lending arm a fresh identity as "Believe Mortgage" after five years of helping Northeast Ohio residents overcome homeownership hurdles. The rebrand reflects their continued mission to create pathways to property ownership for first-time buyers throughout the region.
