The Wait Is Over: Five Guys Sets Opening Date in Prague

The popular American fast food chain Five Guys is set to debut in the Czech Republic with its first branch in Prague’s iconic Máj department store on Národní třída.

After more than a year of delays, the long-awaited opening is now anticipated to take place by early spring 2025.

Preparations for the branch began in 2023, with initial plans targeting a June 2024 launch. However, the timeline was postponed multiple times, with subsequent estimates pointing to autumn and later the end of the year.

According to Karel Samec, spokesperson for Amadeus Real Estate, which manages the Máj department store, the restaurant is now expected to open by March.

An advertising banner announcing the upcoming launch has been displayed outside the Máj store for several months. Additionally, Five Guys has launched a Czech-language website introducing its menu and providing job opportunities within the chain.

Expansion Across Central Europe

The Czech franchise of Five Guys will be managed by Monterock International, a multinational investment holding company involved in private equity, gastronomy, real estate, and sustainable technologies.

Monterock also operates two branches of Five Guys in Vienna and has plans to expand the brand further into Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.

Established in Virginia, USA, in 1986, Five Guys is renowned for its customizable burgers and freshly prepared fries. The chain has grown to nearly 1,700 locations worldwide, with most of them in the United States.

Five Guys follows the recent arrival of Popeyes, which launched its first Czech restaurant in November 2023 and now operates three locations in Prague.

Meanwhile, Wendy’s, another American fast food brand specializing in burgers, is actively seeking a franchisee to bring its operations to the Czech Republic.
