It’s a milestone 40 years in the making, as Five Guys now operates restaurants in 30 countries.The menu that the Murrell family created in February 1986 remains simple – fresh ingredients, food prepped daily, proprietary bread and no shortcuts. It’s a recipe that’s held steady for decades.

“The boys, Janie and I just wanted to make a really good burger and treat people right when we opened that first spot in Arlington,” Five Guys Founder Jerry Murrell said. “Forty years and 2,000 stores later, that’s still the plan. I’m proud of every operator and every crew member who’s been part of this journey with us.”

Five Guys franchisee and North Star Dining USA, Inc. President and CEO Darven Erickson agreed: “This is another step forward in the Five Guys story. Universal is a clear leader in the global entertainment space. So, Five Guys and Universal Orlando Resort is a perfect marriage of our brands to deliver a great experience for our guests.”

Lisa Hall, Vice President, Universal CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort, added, “Five Guys is a great addition to Universal CityWalk, and we’re excited to welcome this iconic brand to our destination.
