  1. Five Guys started in Arlington, VA, in 1986.
  2. It's a family-owned business. Four brothers, along with their parents Jerry and Janie Murrell, started it from the ground up. Years later, a fifth brother was born - hence the name.
  3. The family strives to keep a mom-and-pop feel to it. In a video interview with Forbes, Five Guys CEO Jerry Murrell said, "I've always noticed, in every small town, there's always a place where you can get a good burger; usually a mom-and-pop place. I thought, 'Just have a place like that.'"
  4. Five Guys uses fresh ground beef with an 80/20 ratio (lean meat to fat ratio) for its burgers, and employees form the patties by hand every day.
  5. There are no freezers in Five Guys locations.
  6. Five Guys only uses peanut oil.

  1. The first international Five Guys location opened in London in 2013.
  2. There's an estimated 250,000 ways to customize your order.
  3. Five Guys takes fries very seriously. "They're our passion," one of Murrell brothers said of Five Guys's famous fries. Five Guys buys about 140 million pounds of potatoes from Idaho every year. The employees cut them by hand and soak them in water to rinse off the starch, resulting in a better texture when fried.
  4. There are no timers allowed in Five Guys kitchens, so the cooks have to pay close attention to detail when preparing food.
  5. There are almost 1,500 locations across the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East.
