Five Guys Opens a New Restaurant in Marbella, Creating Fifty Jobs

New commercial opening in downtown Marbella. A new restaurant from an international brand has occupied, since Thursday, July 17, the premises previously housing the La Canasta café and bakery in the summer of 2015, located on Ramón y Cajal Avenue, next to Alameda Park. The space that once held the historic Cafetería Marbella has now become a restaurant of the American burger chain Five Guys this summer.

This opening represents the consolidation of the chain in the city, which already has burger joints in Puerto Banús and La Cañada and now settles in the urban center, in the aforementioned location that boasts 363 square meters of single-floor space, with a covered and heated terrace of 85 square meters "ideal for enjoying the iconic burgers & fries," claims the company that went viral a few years ago with a high-profile visit from former president Barack Obama to one of their outlets in the United States when he was the White House occupant.

"We are happy to once again commit to the economy of this vibrant city that fits so well with the spirit of Five Guys. This is the third opening in a year. Our commitment to the Costa del Sol is strong," explains Daniel Agromayor, the general manager of Five Guys Spain and Portugal, who states that they are "working hard" to consolidate the company's presence in the province with another upcoming opening in the capital.

The restaurant has a capacity for more than a hundred people -including indoor dining area and terrace-, and this opening brings along the creation of fifty jobs in the city -almost 250 people work for Five Guys across all the locations in the province-, "committed to local talent and contributing to the economic development of Marbella and the Costa del Sol," states the press release from the American restaurant chain, founded by the Murrell family in 1986 in Arlington (Virginia) and which has experienced rapid global growth in recent years through its burgers, fries, and shakes.

Presence in Andalusia

This is the fourth Five Guys burger joint in the province of Málaga -the other is located in the luxury outlet McArthurGlen, next to Plaza Mayor in the capital- and the ninth in Andalusia, three of them in Seville (two in the capital and one in San José de la Rinconada) and another two in Granada (in the capital and in the town of Armilla).
