A popular American fast-food restaurant is  a huge step closer to opening in Bolton growing retail and leisure park.

The Bolton News announced that Five Guys were opening in Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park last month adding to the new additions in the area.

Now signs for Five Guys are now in place  at the new restaurant between the Poundland shop and TGI Fridays.

Five Guys is best known for their beef burgers with heaps of condiments and fillings included.

The popular chain offers more than 250,000 possible topping combinations for burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches.

Customers can also have the option of 1,000 different milkshake mix-in combinations.

Their famous fries are a ‘boardwalk style’ fry, meaning they’re hand-cut every day and cooked in 100 per cent peanut oil.

It comes as the highly anticipated Carrs Pasties officially opens today at 10am at the retail and leisure park.

A spokesperson for Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park, said: “We are extremely pleased to be adding Five Guys to our already impressive line-up of restaurants, and this new addition will bring a new market and customer to Middlebrook.

“Five Guys takes the old Footasylum unit and will be opening very soon (date TBC).

“We have also welcomed a local business to Middlebrook this week with Carrs Pasties opening in the old EE unit.

The Bolton News:

“We are pleased that Middlebrook is still the largest Retail and Leisure Park in the UK and our safe environment, 3,000 free car parking spaces and fantastic range of stores, restaurants and leisure facilities is attracting new retailers and customers alike.

“We are constantly working to improve the retail park for our customers and look forward to welcoming them to Middlebrook to sample the great food that Five Guys and Carrs Pasties will be offering.”

Five Guys already have chains in Manchester and Trafford.

The restaurant uses the freshest ingredients available to them, which means customers can also find out which local farm the potatoes have come from, through information on their notice board.

It will join the huge names already at Middlebrook including YO! Sushi, Bella Italia, Nando’s, Pizza Hut, TGI Fridays, and more.

The company is also hiring for staff at the moment and an opening date is yet to be confirmed.
