Case Study: Five Guys accelerates UK drive-thru expansion with Searchland

Five Guys accelerates UK expansion to 190 sites with SearchLand

Five Guys, an American fast food chain, faced challenges in its UK expansion due to high costs and unreliable data from previous site-sourcing platforms. Their property acquisitions team needed a more effective way to identify viable drive-thru locations without spending weeks verifying incomplete information. They turned to the vendor Searchland for its planning data and site-sourcing tools to address these issues.

By implementing Searchland, Five Guys gained access to comprehensive planning insights and a powerful ownership tool, which allowed them to quickly assess sites and contact landowners directly. The solution from Searchland enabled the company to conduct much of its early-stage research in-house, significantly reducing spending on external consultants. As a result, Five Guys can now confidently progress with its strategy to open 10 new drive-thru sites.
