A Pair of Five Guys Coming to Boston This Fall

Rumors about the invasion of Boston proper by burger-centric fast food chain Five Guys are true, and then some. A representative from Five Guys tells Eater that the company plans to open not one but two new locations downtown, at 58 Summer Street in Downtown Crossing and at 263 Huntington Ave near Northeastern. Though the company had originally hoped for a summer opening, both new locations are aiming to open by mid-November or December. Currently, the closest Five Guys are in Chelsea and Medford. What will the new ones serve? Exactly what every other Five Guys serves, including burgers, hot dogs, fries, sandwiches, and peanuts. And Five Guys is just one of many businesses getting in on what will surely be remembered as The Great Boston Burgxplosion of 2012.
