Not content with opening in Glasgow’s St Vincent Street in November, US burger giants Five Guys Burger and Fries have also secured a unit at Silverburn and one in Edinburgh at Fort Kinnaird Shopping Centre, which will open in December. Five Guys already have gourmet burger joints in London, Manchester and Guildford. Boss John Eckbert has also revealed that he is actively looking for other sites in Edinburgh. Five Guys do not use freezers, and use locally-sourced ingredients and provide 15 free toppings. They will also be bringing the Coke Freestyle dispenser to Scotland – while other beverage dispensers offer between six and eight drink choices, Coca-Cola Freestyle is equipped with an easy-to-use touchscreen that allows users to dispense more than 100 individual brands, including some, like Diet Raspberry Coke, that aren’t available anywhere else. Not only that but in all their restaurants, to date, their staff is also trained not just to serve food but cook it too. Next up a Braehead burgery?
