five guys burgers and fries to open at spire midtown ~ what now, atlanta?

Don’t have a cow, but we’re getting more greasy hamburger chain joints

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is opening in Midtown.

The burger joint filed a building permit for space at the Spire condominiums located at 860 Peachtree street NE and the concierge at the condos confirms the restaurant is opening in the former sales center for Viewpoint.

Construction has began on the burger joint’s custom build out for the space.

Originally, the office of the developer reported in March that Five Guys would open at Spire in the shuttered Kuhlman boutique adjacent to Fresh to Order.

And although Atlanta has seen an influx of burger restaurant openings with several others on the way, Five Guys has an opportunity to fill a void, opening near the shuttered Evos restaurant.

Located at Viewpoint across the street, Evos, the healthy burger alternative, closed on October 28.

Five Guys is also opening alongside 5 Napkin Burger (one napkin per guy?), which is taking the Nickiemoto’s space down the street, scheduled to open in February.

Are we the only ones, or are you starting to feel sick from this Mad Cow Disease that’s overtaking Atlanta?
