Daniel Hynd, director of Promenade Estates which owns and operates Queen Square, says:

“Since Five Guys opened its doors on Monday, the reaction from the Liverpool public has been fantastic.

“The news that it is the second most successful opening worldwide is incredible and is testament to the quality of the Five Guys brand. This success reinforces the fact that quality operators will always be welcome in Liverpool, and will add further fuel to the growth in the city’s leisure industry.

A spokesperson for Five Guys, says:

“We are proud and excited about our Liverpool Opening. The city boasts a strong and dynamic retail and restaurant mix that we are very happy to join.
