The untold truth of Five Guys

Quick-serve food chains are taking over the fast food industry, and one of the chains at the top of that movement is Five Guys — they've come a long way, and they've done it in a hurry.

The growth of the Five Guys Burgers and Fries chain is nothing short of amazing, and the story behind it will make you believe that anything is truly possible. With founders who have remained an integral part of their company, franchisees who aren't just buying a brand name but an entire formula, and a company built from the ground up, Five Guys has a story that embraces what the American dream once was... and still can be.

Of course, they've hit a few bumps along the way, and made some serious missteps — they even have some secrets they'd probably rather you didn't know about. This is the untold truth of Five Guys.
