New Five Guys in Marbella, one year after the opening of the first one in the city

Marbella/The American food chain Five Guys opens a new location in Marbella, one year after opening the first one in this town, in the La Cañada shopping center. This new restaurant is located on Miguel Cano Avenue, at the corner with Ramón y Cajal. Previously, this site was occupied by the Malaga-based bakery La Canasta.

This new location, right in the center of Marbella, spans 365 square meters. The company mentioned that with this new opening, "more than 40 new permanent quality jobs will be created." It also features a terrace, measuring 85 square meters, and has a capacity of more than 100 people.

“For us, it was a dream that Marbella welcomed us so warmly at La Cañada just a few months ago. That's why we did not hesitate to bet again on this city by investing in a new space where people can enjoy tasty burgers & fries now in the urban center of the wonderful and sunny Marbella,” highlighted the general manager of the company in Spain and Portugal, Daniel Agromayor.

In Andalusia, the Five Guys chain has 8 restaurants, three of which are in the province of Málaga. The most recent was the one opened in La Cañada, in Marbella, another is located in the McArthurglen shopping center in Málaga city, and another in Puerto Banús. With the upcoming opening in the heart of Marbella, the chain will have four restaurants in the Málaga area, making it the Andalusian province with the most Five Guys locations.

History of a Family Business

Five Guys was founded by the five Murrel brothers. It happened in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia, when Jerry and Janie Murrell gave their five sons the choice between going to college or starting a business. The brothers chose the latter option, opening their first restaurant in the late 80s. The menu consists of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fries, and milkshakes.

Spain saw its first Five Guys in 2016, three years after they began expanding in Europe, with their first location on Gran Vía. They first established themselves in Andalusia in 2019, in Seville. Currently, they have more than 30 locations throughout Spain.
