Five Guys set to open first European airport location at London Heathrow

The upcoming Five Guys outlet will occupy a 2,500 square feet space on the upper level of Terminal 5. It will have a capacity for around 90 sit-in customers and include "a dedicated Welcome Host [who will] greet passengers and enhance the Five Guys experience." Fraser Brown, Retail Director at London Heathrow Airport, expressed enthusiasm about the development: "We're very excited to welcome Five Guys to Terminal 5 - becoming the first airport in the UK and Europe to host the beloved burger brand."

The restaurant plans to operate during all flight hours at Heathrow, offering both daytime and breakfast menu options. The ordering kiosks will support six different languages, making it accessible for international travelers.

This expansion is part of London Heathrow Airport's broader employment impact. With over 114,000 local jobs supported by the facility—including approximately 76,000 directly employed staff—the addition of Five Guys is expected to "create between 80 and 100 new jobs for the terminal." Since entering the UK market in 2013, Five Guys has opened around 170 restaurants across various locations in Britain.
