Being on the road we are always looking for different places to try outwhen we get ready to eat!?!
Earlier in the week my husband had noticed several signs for a restaurant called
"Five Guys Burgers and Fries"
-&-
last night we were able to give one of their many locations a try -&- it was amazing!?!
History:
Five Guys was founded in 1986 by Janie and Jerry Murrell and their four sons (with Jerry and the sons being the original "Five Guys"). Jerry and Janie had a fifth son two years after opening their first restaurant; all five sons, the current "Five Guys", are now involved in th
e business. The first location, which no longer exists, was in the Westmont Shopping Center on Columbia Pike at Glebe Road. Buns were baked by Brenner's Bakery of Arlington Inc., which was owned and operated by Gino E. Pellegrino and located in the same shopping center. Brenner's made all the rolls by hand until 2001.
In 2002, there were six locations in Northern Virginia run by the family. The restaurants had gained popularity among locals, and the Murrells decided to franchise the stores. The Murrells began franchising their concept with the help of Fransmart, a franchise sales organization started by Dan Rowe, lo
cated in Alexandria, Virginia. Former Washington Redskins kicker Mark Moseley, who had gone to work for Fransmart after his football career, played a key role in the sales of franchises, and went on to become Five Guys' director of franchise development after the Murrells ended their business relationship with Fransmart.
Here is a time line:
* 1986: The first Five Guys location opens in Arlington, VA.
* 1986 - 2001: Five Guys opens five locations around the DC metro-area and perfected their business of making burgers… and starts to build a cult-like following.
* 2002: Five Guys decides DC metro-area residents shouldn't be the only ones to experience their burgers and start to franchise in Virginia and Maryland.
* 2003: Five Guys sells out of franchise territory within 18 months and starts to open the rest of the country for franchise rights.
* 2003 - Present: Five Guys expands to over 625 locations in over 40 states and 4 Canadian provinces.
Facts:
* There are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at Five Guys.
* We use only fresh ground beef.
* There are no freezers in Five Guys locations, just coolers.
*Nothing is ever frozen.
* We use only Peanut oil.
* Our menu is trans-fat free.
