Five Guys Burgers And Fries To Open June 13 In Groton

Store Finished Hiring Staff Thursday

Renovation work on the Five Guys Burgers And Fries at 143 Gold Star Highway is almost done, and the restaurant is scheduled to open June 13.

"It's coming along," franchise owner Kevin Glazier said Friday. "We're just putting the finishing touches on."

The company bought the property for $700,000 in April and gutted the inside of the building.  Inside work is mostly finished; landscapers were busy on Friday.
