The first of eight Five Guys Burgers and Fries restaurants in Hawaii opened today to a crowd of more than 100 people at the Town Center of Mililani.

A long line of patrons snaked around the corner of the building for the 11 a.m. grand opening. Hawaii franchise owners Amannda and Ken Schneider were joined by Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell and entertainer Danny Kaleikini, who performed a Hawaiian blessing.

Five Guys, the popular Virginia-based eatery known for its made-to-order burgers, offers a large choice of toppings at no charge, freshly-made fries and free peanuts.

The 2,000-square-foot restaurant has hired 60 employees for the 60-seat location.

The next Oahu eatery, at Ka Makana Alii in Kapolei, is slated to open in August. More locations are slated to open within the next few years.
