Five Guys Burgers and Fries is now open for business in the Central Terminal Building at New York’s LaGuardia Intl. Airport. Located on the departures level, in the food court, the chain location serves burgers, fries, hotdogs and veggie sandwiches, as well as breakfast.

“We are thrilled to welcome Five Guys Burgers and Fries to LaGuardia Airport,” says Lillian Tan, vp and general manager of MarketPlace Development, the retail development company that manages the retail and food program in the terminal. “Five Guys will give our passengers yet another compelling reason to visit the airport early. The addition of Five Guys helps to fulfill our goal of providing customers with a superior dining experience.”

MarketPlace Development is the private partner with The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the $18 million, 50,000-square-foot redevelopment of the Food & Shops program at the Central Terminal Building, the largest of LaGuardia's four terminals.

Five Guys opened its first store in 1986 and has grown to 500 locations across 35 states and Canada.
