Sweet taste of Harrington victory: Desmond brothers to bring Five Guys chain to Ireland

After his win at the Honda Classic PGA National in Florida yesterday, he went to fast food emporium Five Guys shortly afterwards and shared a picture of his "his first celebration meal" on social media.

The Irish franchise for the chain has been won by Brett, Ross and Derry Desmond - sons of businessman Dermot Desmond - a spokeswoman for Five Guys told the Irish Independent.

The brothers are looking to open five restaurants in Dublin and a further five outside the capital, including in Northern Ireland, the spokeswoman said.

"They'll focus on the Dublin area first," she added.

The brothers are also looking to open restaurants in Cork, Limerick and Galway.

The brothers are currently seeking locations for the stores and there is no precise opening date yet, the Irish Independent understands.

The chain was founded in Virginia in 1986 and started offering franchise opportunities in 2003.

It currently has more than 1,200 outlets in the US and Canada, and opened in Covent Garden in London in 2013.

"We are considered a fast-casual restaurant. We have high-quality food but in a quick, fast setting," the spokeswoman said.

"We're really a no-frills burger joint, we're focused on fresh food and customisation of your burger."

Five Guys says there are more than 250,000 ways to have a burger in its restaurants.

A Five Guys restaurant requires a minimum ground-floor trading space of 2,500 square feet, with 1,500 square feet needed for back-of-house.
