Five Guys Opening in Prague Postponed to Autumn

Prague Morning

The much-anticipated arrival of Five Guys, the American fast food chain known for its made-to-order burgers and generous toppings, has been delayed yet again.

The first Czech location was originally slated to open more than a year ago inside the Máj department store on Národní třída.

Initial plans suggested a launch in summer 2023, then autumn, and later spring 2024. But the doors have remained closed. The latest estimate now points to autumn 2025, with September floated as the possible opening month.

For months, a bold red banner announcing “Five Guys Coming Soon” has hung in the department store’s window, teasing passersby on one of Prague’s busiest streets. Still, there has been no official confirmation from the chain itself.

“According to our information, Five Guys is planning to open in September,” said Jan Kotrbáček, head of the retail leasing team for Central and Eastern Europe at Cushman & Wakefield, in an interview with iDNES.cz.

But until the chain formally announces the date, the speculation continues.

In Czechia, the Five Guys franchise is operated by Monterock International, the same company behind several Five Guys branches in Vienna.

The brand’s core philosophy is simple: no frozen ingredients, no preservatives, and everything is prepared fresh in front of the customer.

What sets Five Guys apart is not just the quality of its ingredients, but also the customization it offers. Customers can choose from a wide range of free toppings—including grilled onions, jalapeños, extra bacon, and multiple sauces—giving them full control over their burger.

According to Five Guys’ pricing policy in other European markets, the price of a basic burger could be around 11 euros, or roughly 275 crowns.
