Five Guys is planning to open a new burger restaurant in Manchester, with planning documents submitted to the city council. The proposed site is at the Manchester Fort shopping centre in Cheetham Hill, specifically at unit 35, which was previously occupied by Pizza Hut. The unit is located off Cheetham Hill Road, adjacent to other food and drink outlets such as Greggs and Subway.
Details of the New Five Guys Location
The planning report on Manchester council's website states that the application involves installing new signs for the fast food chain at the shopping park. The unit sits on the western boundary of Manchester Fort, which features a mix of retailers including Nando's, Marks & Spencer, and Subway. The centre operates on weekdays and weekends, attracting shoppers and diners.
According to the Five Guys website, the new burger bar at the Fort will be opening 'very soon'. The website adds: 'Keep your eyes peeled for the official opening date, we look forward to welcoming you soon.' This suggests that the opening is imminent, though no exact date has been confirmed.
Existing Five Guys Locations in Greater Manchester
Five Guys already has several outlets across Greater Manchester, including at Piccadilly Gardens and the Trafford Centre. The new restaurant at Manchester Fort will expand the chain's presence in the region, offering its signature burgers, fries, and shakes to customers in Cheetham Hill and beyond.
The planning report highlights that the application site is a standalone restaurant unit on the western boundary of the shopping park. It notes that other uses in the park include Nando's, Greggs, Marks & Spencer, and Subway, along with other retailers. The report indicates that the new signage will complement the existing retail environment.
Five Guys and Manchester Fort were approached for comment but did not respond at the time of publication. The new restaurant is expected to create jobs and provide another dining option for visitors to the shopping centre.
