Five Guys reveals plans for London 'City flagship' launch this summer

An American fast food brand has announced that it is launching a new flagship after securing a central London site.

Five Guys, which has venues across the country, has let two new London sites from leisure property agency Shelley Sandzer, with the larger site set to become a ‘City Five Guys’ flagship.

The site is a ground floor location spanning 3,500 sq ft at Bishopsgate in the city, and will open for both takeaway and eat-in services this summer.

The second site, which opened earlier this year, encompasses 2,884 sq ft and is located at Unit 2, The Scene in Walthamstow.

Nick Weir, managing partner at Shelley Sandzer, commented: “It is wonderful to have played such an influential part in Five Guys’ history, and the brand’s popularity and success in the UK is exactly why we work to bring international brands to the UK for the first time.

“Five Guy’s creation of a brand new flagship in Bishopsgate, alongside their recently launched site in Walthamstow, is a vote of confidence in the hospitality sector, and we are proud to be a part of the brand’s exponential national growth as the industry rebounds post-pandemic.”
