About

Who We Are

C5 Restaurants is a multi-state QSR holding company built on a foundation of operational excellence. We operate 6 Fazoli’s restaurants across West Texas — consistently ranking among the top-performing units in the national system, with average unit volumes more than 50% above the brand average.

Building on this 20+ year track record, C5 is expanding aggressively with Layne’s Chicken Fingers. We are open in Texas and Arkansas, with a 55-unit development agreement covering West Texas, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi and 4 operating locations in Arkansas. We bring the same disciplined approach to real estate, operations, and team development that made our Fazoli’s business best-in-class.
