American burger chain Five Guys is set to open in Singapore within six months.

Local franchisee Zouk Group says the first outlet will open somewhere “central”.

“There will definitely be more than one outlet here, depending on how many the market can sustain,” Andrew Li, Zouk Group CEO told The Straits Times.

Five Guys is known for its customisable beef burgers, hotdogs, milkshakes and sandwiches.  Singapore outlets have the same menu as the US and Hong Kong.

Prices have yet to be confirmed, but the outlet will serve alcohol including craft beer.

Founded in Virginia in 1986, the brand now has more than 1600 restaurants worldwide across the US, Europe, Middle East and Asia.
