National burger franchise, 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, will open their doors in March, 2010, on 45th Street south in the Shoppes on 45th building at Urban Plains. Rob Hanson and Travis Gamble with Burger Heaven LLC were introduced to the wildly popular burger restaurant when a friend in Georgia raved about the burgers from 5 Guys.
When asked why “5 Guys Burgers and Fries”, Rob Hanson said “it has a niche in the marketplace and high quality burgers in a quick service setting.”
Rob did a little research and discovered how fast the franchise was catching on. Hanson said “All the territories are now sold out.” Burger Heaven LLC owns territorial rights to all of North Dakota and they have plans to expand to all the major cities, starting here in Fargo.
Shoppes on 45th broke ground in late October. The building is owned by McCormick Place Partnership and will include 5 Guys Burgers and Fries as well as room for up to 3 more businesses. There will be an additional 5000 square feet available at $17.50 with an estimated cam of $5. Gehrtz Construction Service is the builder on this project and the building design was created by Zerr Berg Architects.
Steve Gehrtz said they were “excited about the 45th Street exposure. The national franchise of 5 Guys will really bring in traffic for the Shoppes on 45th.”
Lori Ibach of Goldmark points out that there is time for businesses to lease space in the Shoppes on 45th and open in March. To talk to Lori about this property, call her at 239-5854 or email her at lori.ibach@goldmark.com.
