A brand spanking new Five Guys is opening in Manchester today at Piccadilly Gardens. It’s the seventh spot for the Virginia-founded chain, with other branches already in the Arndale and Trafford centres, Trafford Park, Parrs Wood, University Green and Ashton Under Lyne.
Officially, it’s being called the ‘Piccadilly Station’ branch. This is despite being an eight minute walk away from the station concourse - according to both Google Maps and actual real-life experience.
“This is the same restaurant as the one discussed in council meetings as ‘Piccadilly Gardens’, however the official name of the Five Guys branch is ‘Piccadilly station’ due to proximity to the station,” said a spokesperson for the chain.
