About
Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a family-owned carry-out burger joint that prides itself on serving only hand-formed burgers cooked to perfection on a grill along with fresh-cut fries cooked in pure peanut oil.
The Murrell family started the Five Guys burger business back in 1986 with their sons and today, 30 years after Five Guys first opened, there are almost 1,500 locations worldwide and another 1,500 units in development.
Five Guys restaurants are typically located in retail shopping centers and other urban locations such as train stations, sports arenas, airports, university campuses, etc. The footprint of each restaurant ranges between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet.
What Sets Five Guys Apart? These differentiators:
- We only use fresh ground beef.
- We only use peanut oil.
- There are no freezers in Five Guys locations, just coolers.
