Five Guys Burger and Fries Now Open!

Five Guys Burger and Fries opened the doors to its third Canadian outlet on Thursday, and even just hours after its grand opening, Brandonites are praising the new establishment located in the Shoppers Mall.

“This is hands-down the best burger I have ever tasted,” said Rory Graham, a grade 11 student at Vincent Massey, “It’s so good it’s obscene.”

Five Guys Burger and Fries is owned and operated by Phil Holmes and Vincent McAllister, with Ben Hernandez working as the GM.

“At Five Guys Burger and Fries we value our crew more than the burger itself. It’s the employees that make it all happen,” said Holmes, “They are a well-oiled burger-making army and the pride of the organization.”

When you walk in to FGBF, you are greeted by blaring rock music, the sounds of a bustling kitchen and the tantalizing scent of fresh meat being grilled. When you take your place in line, you can help yourself to a complimentary bag of peanuts while you wait. All the fries are cooked in healthier peanut oil as opposed to your typical fast food grease. After placing your order you have access to as many free drink refills as you can want, starting as soon as your burger hits the grill. The burgers are thick, fresh, and cooked to perfection every time, and all the toppings are free. You won’t be paying for

extra pickles here.

“All our employees have complete power to help anyone with any problems they may have. If you have a problem, you won’t have to wait for a manager to be called, anyone you talk to will help you and make sure you leave satisfied,” said Holmes.

“We picked Brandon to open this business because of the really good people in Brandon,” said McAllister, “This city has a very tight-knit community and an awesome small-town feel.”

The community involvement in Brandon is certainly going to help FGBF, as they don’t plan to spend a cent on any advertising, counting on word of mouth to spread their reputation.

“We aren’t fast food,” said Holmes, “We don’t have a drive-thru, we don’t have the food prepared ahead of time; we don’t even have a freezer in the back. All the ingredients are prepared the day of, and all burgers are cooked and put together right in front of your eyes.”

“This is Brandon’s first REAL burger joint,” said Sam Vopni, a grade 12 student from Vincent Massey, “and after tasting this burger? I know I’m coming back.”
