Five Guys Closes Ion Orchard Outlet, Now Down To Just One Singapore Branch

The closure may come as little surprise to some, with the Ion Orchard outlet often appearing fairly quiet on weekdays compared to the surrounding eateries. 

The brand is known for its hearty gourmet burgers with fresh handmade patties, hand-cut fries and milkshakes with customisable toppings.

Five Guys’ hulking burgers come with a heftier price tag than typical fast food options, with prices starting from $14.50, similar to Shake Shack’s.

Five Guys outlet gone, but no replacement tenant yet

The Ion Orchard outlet had been operating since 2022. Five Guys first entered Singapore in 2019 with its Plaza Singapura outlet, before expanding to Ion Orchard and Nex (which has also since closed down) over the years. 

For now, the former Five Guys unit at Ion Orchard remains empty, with no updates from the mall on what will take over the space. The unit is now noticeably bare, with the burger chain’s signage and fixtures removed.

“We will not be looking at a relocation”

8days.sg reached out to Zouk Group, the local franchisee of Five Guys in Singapore, to ask about the closure of the Ion Orchard outlet and whether the brand has plans to reopen the eatery elsewhere. 

A spokesman for Zouk tells 8days.sg: "We confirm that we elected to close Five Guys at Ion on 6 September. We will not be looking at a relocation, but encourage our Five Guys fans to visit our outlet at Plaza Singapura."

Business as usual at its last remaining outlet

For now, fans can still get their Five Guys fix at Plaza Singapura, serving its signature burgers, including the Bacon Cheeseburger ($22.50) and Cheeseburger ($18.50), as well as hot dogs, Cajun fries and milkshakes. Plus free-of-charge freshly roasted peanuts in their shell. 

Its customisable burgers (from $14.50) come with your choice of 16 types of toppings such as grilled onions, mushrooms, jalapeño peppers and pickles, while its milkshakes (from $11.80) can be mixed with add-ons including Oreo pieces, peanut butter and salted caramel.

Five Guys is at #01-32 Plaza Singapura, 68 Orchard Rd, S238839. Open daily 11am - 10pm. More info via website and Instagram.
