Five Guys opens its fifth burger joint in the province of Málaga: now open right on Alameda

After a couple of months of construction, adaptation, and training, the fifth location of the burger chain Five Guys is opening its doors on the Main Alameda in downtown Málaga. The favorite burger joint of former U.S. President Barack Obama, as recognized and popularized by its burgers, opened this Monday right in the heart of Málaga. It is located precisely at number 6 Main Alameda, exactly where not long ago another fast-food chain like Pizza Hut was located. Thus, within just a hundred meters, three renowned fast-food chains are located: Burger King, McDonald's, and the newly opened Five Guys.

This is the fifth opening of a Five Guys location in the province of Málaga, following last year's third opening in Marbella. Thus, it now has two in the capital following this one, adding to the burger joint located in the McArthurGlen outlet center, next to Plaza Mayor. In Marbella, it has one in the city center (Avenida Ramón y Cajal, 1), another in the CC La Cañada, and a third in Puerto Banús (Avenida Julio Iglesias, 22).

This opening right on the Main Alameda will generate "more than 50 new jobs," according to the chain itself. The new location, where all the usual company products are now available, has a space of 275 square meters spread over two floors, in addition to a large terrace with about ten tables. In total, the new location can accommodate up to 92 diners, with 52 inside and 40 on its terrace.

Five Guys began its journey in the United States where its growth was rapid, becoming another major fast-food company to make the leap and internationalize, although it remains a family-owned business by the Murrell family, and none of its restaurants in Spain are franchised. It is noteworthy that the chain really took off following several visits by former President Barack Obama during his tenure at the White House.

The burger joint is characterized, in addition to its burgers, by its famous 'boardwalk style' fries, which they highlight as "hand-cut on-site every day and cooked in 100% peanut oil." Besides their burgers, they offer hot dogs and sandwiches with which they ensure to offer "more than 250,000 possible combinations of ingredients," to which another "1,000 different combinations of milkshake mixes" are added.

“The opening of our second Five Guys in the city of Málaga is a real pride for us. We were very excited to open a Five Guys right in the center to reach new fans, and continue betting on this beautiful city that has welcomed us so well and that was also the birthplace of Picasso,” says Daniel Agromayor, general manager of Five Guys Spain and Portugal, who adds: “Our goal is nothing other than to offer our fans what they are looking for: quality burgers & fries, prepared with fresh ingredients handled by hand each morning in each Five Guys, customized with up to 15 free toppings, with quality, fresh, and unfrozen ingredients. All in a transparent environment, with kitchens open to the public which we call 'the stage', our stage, where good vibes and rock & roll reign.”
