Five Guys to open new site in Livingston
The move forms part of the group’s ongoing expansion in the UK
Five Guys is set to open its latest location at The Centre, Livingston, having agreed a lease for a new 3,787 sq ft store at the shopping centre.
The new site is due to open on 13 September following a full refurbishment of the unit. Five Guys will join a range of existing food and beverage operators at The Centre, including Wagamama, Nando’s, Chiquito and Harvester.
The move forms part of the group’s ongoing expansion in the UK. Five Guys was first established in 1986 by the Murrell family in Virginia and launched in the UK in 2013, with its first UK site in Covent Garden.
Sharon Bloodworth, director of Retail Asset Management at Hines, said: “Five Guys is one of the world’s best-loved restaurant chains, and following immense growth in recent years has become one of the most popular food and drink brands in the UK.
“It’s great to be able to add another high profile brand name to our restaurant line-up and to enhance our customers’ choice of eatery. The Centre continues to attract international retailers and food and beverage operators and the securing of Five Guys demonstrates The Centre’s place in the Scottish retail market.”
Paul Hamilton, Brand and Customer director at Five Guys, added: “We’re thrilled to be opening a new restaurant in the heart of Livingston and we look forward to welcoming customers to enjoy a delicious burger and fries – just how they want it.”
