• Name: Five Guys Burgers and Fries

• Location: Opening new location at Fourth and Broad, former location of Rock Point Books.

• Products/services: Burgers, fries and hot dogs are made virtually from scratch each day. There is no freezer – all food is brought in or cooked fresh daily.

• Startup investment: A store costs about $500,000 to open.
