Europe's first airport Five Guys is landing at London Heathrow Airport
Heathrow Terminal 5 is one of the best places in the world for airport grub. Yes, really – the restaurant experts at Food & Wine have said so. For fancy fliers, there's Gordon Ramsay Plane Food, the Fortnum and Mason Bar and La Belle Epoque and for the rest of us there are firm favourites like Wagamama, Itsu and good old Wetherspoons. So it only makes sense that T5 will be the very first airport terminal in Europe to get a Five Guys. Soon you'll be able to get your hands on a big fat oozing bacon cheeseburger right before your 6am flight to New York, if you want. The hub has been renamed 'Terminal Five Guys' to mark the momentous occasion. Expected to open late this year, Five Guys will be on the upper level of the terminal with around 90 seats for eating in, plus a takeaway option. It's opening times will align with the first and last flight of each day, so no one misses out, and will have ordering kiosks in six different languages. The American chain's breakfast options (egg, cheese or bacon sandwiches) will be available throughout the day, as will its classic burgers, hotdogs, boardwalk-style fries and milkshakes. It's been more than a decade since Five Guys first landed in the UK, with its first British branch opening in Covent Garden in 2013. John Eckbert, the CEO of Five Guys UK said: 'We are thrilled to be opening a brand new Five Guys at Heathrow Terminal 5 this year. Having opened over 170 restaurants across the UK since we first launched back in 2013, the brand has established itself as one of the nation's favourites for premium burgers. 'Now Five Guys is cementing itself at the UK's busiest travel hub; we are excited to be providing our delicious menu to travellers as part of their journeys.'

Retail Roundup: Shake Shack among new stores coming to Broward shopping village
The burger wars keep raging in South Florida. Squeezing into space crowded by Five Guys, BRGR Stop, BurgerFi, Culver's, Char-Hut, Jack's Old Fashion, Sonic, mainstays McDonald's, Checkers, Wendy's, Burger King, and others, up-and-comer Shake Shack plans to bring its nostalgic take on burgers, fries and milkshakes to its 13th South Florida location during the second quarter of 2026. Kimco Realty, owners of Dania Pointe, announced that the rapidly growing burger chain would be among four new retailers scheduled to open in the 102-acre shopping village west of Interstate 95 and just south of Stirling Road. Retail Roundup: Newest Sprouts opening in Coconut Creek, Prada comes to Aventura Mall Retail Roundup: Boca Raton and Wellington malls announce new luxury fashion, restaurant offerings Retail roundup: Town Center at Boca Raton adds new stores; Kendra Scott plans opening Of the 12 Shake Shack locations that have opened in the tricounty region since 2010, six are in Miami-Dade County while Broward and Palm Beach counties are home to three each. The chain, on a march to quadruple its unit count, ended the first quarter of 2025 with 589 restaurants, according to the industry website Aiming to reach 1,500 locations, the company recently announced deals to open 10 restaurants across the United States and Canada and 12 units in Panama. Founded by restaurateur Danny Meyer and his Union Square Hospitality Group, the first Shake Shack outside of New York City opened on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach back in 2010. Food writers were excited about its debut. The Miami Herald proclaimed that 'NYC's famed hot spot' was 'ready to rock our worlds.' It warned patrons to bring a magazine to pass time waiting in long lines to get in. 'That is if you can concentrate on reading with all those overwhelming aromas,' the paper said. The new arrival was mentioned in more than a dozen Herald stories that summer along with a three-and-a-half star review that ran weekly in its Dining section. Miami-Dade's second Shake Shack opened in Coral Gables in 2012. By then, the company had expanded to 16 locations. The following year, a third South Florida Shake Shack opened across from Florida Atlantic University on Glades Road in Boca Raton. Reviewing the restaurant for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the late John Tanasychuk compared the 'flawless restaurant experience' to visiting drive-in restaurants with his grandmother and siblings during his youth. Tanasychuk praised the efficiency of the workers, the ratio of bun to burger, and even the toppings that 'compliment instead of overwhelm each bite.' When Broward County's first Shake Shack arrived in December 2019 on Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale, the chain boasted 140 restaurants in the United States, as well as in numerous other countries. Today, the chain offers all-natural Angus beef burgers prepared in a variety of ways, including an Avocado Bacon Burger, a Carolina BBQ Burger, and burgers that include a fried portobello mushroom. Patrons can choose fried chicken sandwiches, white-meat chicken 'bites,' Vienna beef hot dogs, and crinkle-cut fries topped with ranch dressing, cheddar and American cheese, and bacon. New on Shake Shack menus this year are side orders of crispy fried dill pickles — touted as the first new side order offered by the company. To top off your meal, there are plenty of choices of shakes, floats, and freshly made frozen custards.

Europe's first airport Five Guys to open in UK's busiest travel hub
Heathrow Airport has announced plans to open a new Five Guys restaurant, in a European first. Set to launch in Terminal 5 – which has been temporarily renamed 'Terminal Five Guys' for the occasion – the popular American chain is making its debut at the UK's busiest airport later in 2025. Five Guys opened its first UK restaurant back in 2013, but this will mark its first venture into any airport in either the UK or Europe. Located on the terminal's upper level, the 2,500-square-foot burger joint is expected to seat around 90 diners, as well as offering a takeaway service for travellers on the go. With opening times spanning from the first to last flight each day, it'll also feature a special menu tailored to passengers dealing with jet lag and navigating time zone shifts. Although the exact details have yet to be revealed, the chain has confirmed that breakfast options will be available to order throughout the day, alongside Five Guys' signature burgers, hot dogs and hand-cut fries. The restaurant is expected to create between 80 and 100 new jobs, and will include ordering kiosks in six languages. 'We are thrilled to be opening a brand new Five Guys at Heathrow Terminal 5 this year,' John Eckbert, CEO of Five Guys UK said. 'Having opened over 170 restaurants across the UK since we first launched back in 2013, the brand has established itself as one of the nation's favourites for premium burgers. 'Now Five Guys is cementing itself at the UK's busiest travel hub; we are excited to be providing our delicious menu to travellers as part of their journeys.' The American fast food chain was founded in Virginia in 1986 and opened its first UK location in Covent Garden in 2013. Travellers can find the restaurant at several major US airports and Dubai International Airport, which opened last year to become the first Five Guys airport location outside North America. More Trending Heathrow saw around 81 million passengers pass through in 2024 and is targeting a record 84.2 million in 2025. Terminal 5, the main base for British Airways, is the busiest airport terminal in Europe, and plans for expansion are already underway. Holidaymakers aren't the only ones being treated to new fast food spots though, so you don't need a boarding pass to get your fix. Parisian burger joint Dumbo is opening its first ever UK site very soon, while an Asian dessert chain called Mammy Pancake also hit British shores earlier this month. Do you have a story to share?

Shaq Owned 155 Five Guys But Had No Clue How To Run Them — So He Turned To A McDonald's Manager Who Hooked Him Up During His NBA Days Into A Partner
Shaq Owned 155 Five Guys But Had No Clue How To Run Them — So He Turned To A McDonald's Manager Who Hooked Him Up During His NBA Days Into A Partner Imagine being offered a stake in a booming burger chain and saying yes before you even knew what it was. That's exactly what happened to Shaquille O'Neal. In a clip shared to Instagram in November by entrepreneur Andrew Cordle during the Aspire Tour, Shaq recounted the unexpected moment that launched him into the burger business. "One day a guy came up to me and said, 'Hey man, I'm starting this thing called Five Guys,'" Shaq recalled. "I was like, 'What's Five Guys?' He's like, 'Burgers. I wanna offer you equity in the company, and I wanna give you franchises.' So I say yes, but now I'm like, I don't know sh*t about burgers... What do I do?" Don't Miss: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Shaq didn't just need a manager — he needed someone who actually knew the fast food game. So he looked to someone who'd already earned his trust during his NBA days in Orlando: a local McDonald's manager who had always treated him well. "When I was playing here in Orlando, there was a guy at the McDonald's. He was the manager, and he always took care of me," Shaq said. "Didn't really have the cash to branch out. So I said okay, I already got the plan. I'm gonna take him, I will make him a partner, he's gonna run it." Not just a thank-you, but a full-on business partnership. And it worked. Shaq said, "We're going to keep it, sell it, or whatever. And it worked out for me. So I think I had 155 Five Guys and he ran it." Eventually, someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse. "Met a guy one day who wanted to take it off my hands. He showed me the number and I looked at it and was like, you can have it all," Shaq laughed. "You can have the burger, the fries, the lettuce, the shakes." Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — What started as a spur-of-the-moment yes turned into a 155-location empire — and all because, as Shaq put it, "I get a lot of opportunities just by being a nice guy." And being a nice guy has paid off — literally. Today, Shaq's estimated net worth is around $500 million, and his business portfolio is stacked with everything from Krispy Kreme and Papa John's to car washes and fitness centers. But Shaq's brand isn't just about owning franchises — it's about backing brands that connect with everyday people. His strategy? Invest in businesses that change lives. He once said he took that cue from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. He looks for companies that offer real value to real people — and that's helped turn him from an NBA legend into a franchise juggernaut. Shaq may not have known much about burgers, but he's mastered the business of betting on people.
