  Map of countries with Five Guys locations More followed in Old Town Alexandria and Springfield, Virginia, making five locations open by 2001. Their success encouraged the Murrells to franchise their concept the following year, engaging Fransmart, a franchise sales organization. Former American football player Mark Moseley, who had gone to work for Fransmart after his football career, played a key role in Five Guys' expansion and went on to become the company's director of franchise development after it ended its business relationship with Fransmart.[17][19] In early 2003, the chain began franchising, opening the doors to rapid expansion which caught the attention of national restaurant trade organizations and the national press. The expansion started in Virginia and Maryland, and by the end of 2004, over 300 units were in development through the Northeast. Over the next few years, the chain rapidly expanded across the entire United States and into Canada, reaching over 1,000 locations by 2012.[needs update][citation needed] The first location outside of North America opened in the United Kingdom on July 4th, 2013, in London on Long Acre in Covent Garden.[20] The chain now has more than 170 restaurants in the UK. In 2023 they celebrated their 10th Anniversary in the United Kingdom.[21] Five Guys also has locations in the Middle East and has continued to expand in Europe. In late 2017, Five Guys opened its first restaurants in Germany, with a branch in Frankfurt and another in Essen.[22] Five Guys opened its first Korean store in Gangnam, Seoul, at 11 a.m. on June 26, 2023, with a countdown shout.

According to the architect, "The lobby mimics the typical Five Guys restaurant with red and white tile, tall tables, Freestyle Coke machine and signature peanut boxes."[30] In 2023, they moved their headquarters to a new location in Alexandria, Virginia.[31] On September 24, 2020, the first Five Guys location with a drive-through window opened in Surfside Beach, South Carolina. The franchisee retained it from the former business in the building in light of COVID-19 pandemic safe practices.[32] In September 2021, Five Guys opened their first location in Australia.[33] The chain also has plans to expand into New Zealand.[34] In November 2022, Five Guys announced the relocation of their headquarters to the Carlyle neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia.[35] In November 2025, Five Guys announced that it would open their first restaurant in Denmark, at Fisketorvet, a shopping mall in Copenhagen.[36]
