October 24, 2019Newest Five Guys Restaurant Opens in the Town of Malta
On Thursday, October 24 the Chamber took part in a ribbon cutting and grand opening of the newest Five Guys and Fries restaurant in the Capital Region. This is TJ and Savita Hada’s 22nd location.
Bill Rabbitt is the Director Operations; Craig Wood is the District Manager and Brendon Medina is the store general manager.
Vanguard-Fine, LLC was the instrumental to finalize the site. Plaza owner, Windsor Development Group has been very cooperative during the whole process.
Five Guys has been a Washington, DC area favorite since 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell offered sage advice to the four young Murrell brothers: “Start a business or go to college.” The business route won and the Murrell family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington, Virginia.
Under the guidance of Jerry and Janie, the Murrell family served only hand-formed burgers cooked to perfection on a grill along with fresh-cut fries cooked in pure peanut oil.
Now, 30 years after Five Guys first opened, there are almost 1,600 locations worldwide and another 1,500 units in development. Five Guys continues to receive generous media attention and has grown a cult-like following around the world.
