Five Guys Burgers & Fries Coming?

I’ve heard a rumor floating around for a few months now that Bismarck would soon be getting a Five Guys Burgers & Fries. I haven’t had much luck confirming the details of this, but today I saw an employment ad recruiting a general manager for Bismarck, which seems to add some validity to the rumor. According to the recruitment ad, the restaurant opens in October.

Five Guys opened a location in Fargo just a few months ago. The company operates more than 600 locations across 40 states and 5 Canadian Provinces. Five Guys has been the recipient of multiple awards, rated the “best burger” by numerous publications.

The most viable rumor I’ve heard puts the potential new restaurant inside the former Vlana Vlee space at Pinehurst Square. I haven’t been to Pinehurst Square for awhile, so perhaps there is signage already in place that I’m unaware of.

Stay tuned for more details.
