One of Sacramento’s Five Guys is set to close this month. Here’s what to know

National burger chain Five Guys is shutting down a Sacramento-area restaurant at the end of the month after eight years in business, cutting 16 jobs.

The chain’s sole Folsom franchise, at 2750 E. Bidwell St., Suite 100 in the Broadstone Marketplace, is permanently closing on Tuesday, Nov. 25, according to a mass layoff notification filed with California’s Employment Development Department.

A general manager, three shift leads and 12 crew members are affected by the closure, which the franchise did not provide a reasoning for in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filing. It also did not indicate whether staff would be offered the chance to relocate to a different Five Guys restaurant.

A representative for Five Guys declined to comment on the Folsom restaurant closure Thursday morning.

Five Guys launched in the Washington, D.C., area in 1998, opening its first Sacramento-area restaurant 12 years later in the summer of 2010, The Bee reported at the time. The chain is known for its hand-formed beef patties, its peanut oil fries accompanied by cups of shelled peanuts and its thick, hand-spun milkshakes.

The Folsom Five Guys opened Oct. 13, 2017, and neighbors a former Mayweather Boxing & Fitness gym that closed in August and a day spa in the Broadstone Marketplace complex. The burger chain has seven other locations in the capital region, in Curtis Park’s Crocker Village, Arden Arcade’s Town and Country Village, Elk Grove, West Sacramento, Roseville, Rancho Cordova and Fair Oaks.
