Ten years of Five Guys in Spain: "Some said we were a flash in the pan, a trend"

Five Guys opened its first restaurant in Spain in 2016 and has since expanded to 45 locations, generating €106 million in revenue in 2025. The chain is now the fourth largest globally and second in Europe, focusing on fresh ingredients and maintaining consistent pricing despite inflation. The brand's success contrasts with the Mediterranean diet, attributed to its commitment to quality. Five Guys plans to grow further, with recent openings in the Balearic Islands and ambitions for Portugal. The company operates all its Spanish locations directly, avoiding franchises, and recently opened its first EU airport location at El Prat.
