The company Five Guys was founded in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia, and has built a cult status among burger lovers around the world. The brand's philosophy is simple: fresh and high-quality ingredients, no freezers, and unlimited flavor combinations. Every burger and milkshake is made to order, with maximum emphasis on freshness and the individual taste preferences of the customer, ensuring a unique experience.
“We are excited to finally introduce Five Guys to Czech customers,” says Martin Levec, the operations director of Five Guys for the Czech Republic, adding, “Carefully selected ingredients, no freezers, and no compromises. This is the foundation of the Five Guys philosophy. Everything is prepared only from fresh products. We work exclusively with approved suppliers who deliver meat, vegetables, and potatoes to us every morning in the best possible condition. We believe that this iconic brand will quickly win the hearts of Czech burger fans.”
The new restaurant in the Máj shopping center on Národní street will offer the classic Five Guys concept: hand-crafted burgers made from fresh ingredients, each customized to the order. Guests will see the entire preparation process thanks to the open kitchen. The menu will also include fresh potato fries cut daily on-site and milkshakes with the option to combine flavors freely.
As part of the experience, there will also be free peanuts. Customers can enjoy them while waiting briefly for their freshly prepared burger. The restaurant will thus bring the authentic atmosphere of Five Guys that fans around the world know.
“Opening the first restaurant in the Máj shopping center, at the iconic address in the heart of Prague, is the ideal opportunity for us to introduce the brand to Czech customers. And where else should the first Five Guys be than right here? We are glad that we can finally offer the experience that people love worldwide,” says Martin Klán, who is behind the arrival of Five Guys in the Czech Republic.
The restaurant, covering 250 m² with a shared food court capacity of 600 seats, is ready to welcome all fans of legendary burgers starting December 8.
The Story of the Five Guys Brand
Five Guys is a family concept focused on burgers and fries, offering the option to build a burger and menu exactly according to the individual preferences of the customer. The brand originated in the Washington D.C. area in 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell gave their sons two choices: go to college or start their own business. The second option won, and thus the first small burger delivery restaurant was established in Arlington, Virginia. Under their leadership, the business quickly gained dedicated fans and became a phenomenon.
Today, decades after opening the first location, Five Guys has more than 1,950 restaurants across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia - while still maintaining the same commitment to quality and freshness.
Commitment to Quality
The Murrell brothers changed the perception of what a burger can look like worldwide. The principle of Five Guys is freshness and quality - no freezers, no microwaves, no compromises. Every burger and every fry is prepared fresh every day.
Burgers - Made exclusively from the highest quality fresh ingredients. Each beef patty is hand-formed with an ideal fat ratio of 80/20, free from preservatives, hormones, and antibiotics. The buns are baked daily according to a secret recipe and toasted on a special grill.
Hot Dogs - Made from 100% beef, split lengthwise and grilled to perfection. They can be topped with melted American cheese, crispy smoked bacon - or both.
Fries - Hand-cut every day, fried in peanut oil, and prepared in a "boardwalk" style - crispy on the outside, with a soft potato interior. Available in classic or spicy Cajun.
Milkshakes - The base is a creamy vanilla mix that guests can customize with more than 100 ingredient combinations. Try adding crispy bacon bits, fresh bananas, strawberries, or Lotus Biscoff cookies!
