Five Guys confirms opening date for new Trafford burger restaurant

American burger giant Five Guys has confirmed its latest Manchester opening - bringing its famous brand of giant burgers, hot dogs and milkshakes to Urmston for the first time.

The fast food restaurant will open its new base at Trafford Retail Park in Urmston - just a mile down the road from the very first place in Manchester it launched inside the Trafford Centre back in 2014.

The new launch comes amid a period of rapid UK expansion for the American burger chain, with works also underway for a new Five Guys in a prominent location on Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester.
