Five Guys Enterprises, LLC is finally opening its very first restaurant branch in Gangnam, Seoul. Its local operator, FG Korea, which is a subsidiary of Hanhwa Galleria, announced on Monday, June 12, that the store would start operations on June 26 at 11 a.m.
Korea Joongang Daily reported that Five Guys is in the midst of recruitment for staff and held hiring events Monday as well. FG Korea said that this would allow them to form a dedicated team for its new fast-food chain business venture.
The first Five Guys store, which will be the brand's flagship location in South Korea, was built in a high-class area that sits between the Gangnam and Sinnonhyeon Stations. The restaurant itself occupies two floors with a total floor area of about 618 square meters. The company said that the store can accommodate more or less 150 customers.
Five Guys Korea said that its local branch would preserve the original American recipes and services where the brand originated. With that said, the store will serve complimentary peanuts, just like in the U.S., as a special treat for diners.
The Korea Herald quoted an official at Five Guys Korea as saying, "You can make your own burger in up to 250,000 ways using various toppings. Five Guys will be able to offer customers a unique experience as well as state-of-the-art taste. Notably, we put a lot of effort in establishing a reliable domestic potato supply chain to ensure a taste reminiscent of the popular Russet potatoes found in the United States."
Kim Dong Sun, Hanhwa Galleria's head of strategic management, further stated, "It was very impressive to see that the quality of the goods was controlled meticulously through repeated training from the direction and the number of putting sauce on the products, to the strength of pressing patties."
Meanwhile, the company also shared it is planning to build more than 15 stores in the country in the next five years.
