Five Guys to open new burger joint outside Mall at Tuttle Crossing
DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) — National hamburger chain Five Guys is opening the company’s 15th central Ohio restaurant this spring outside a struggling Columbus-area shopping center.
The chain’s new location at 4971 Tuttle Crossing Blvd. in Dublin will begin welcoming guests this month, the company’s site states. Five Guys’ new central Ohio restaurant comes after the chain opened eateries at the Worthington Gateway development last fall and a location at 2655 N. High St. in Clintonville.
The 2,200-square-foot burger joint will sit between a Starbucks and a Pearle Vision within a retail building that is also home to an AT&T store. The building sits outside of the Mall at Tuttle Crossing, a shopping center now under new ownership as national retailers are closing their locations in the mall.

Clothing brand H&M was the largest tenant on Tuttle Crossing’s second floor and permanently shuttered on Jan. 6. Youth apparel and accessory shop The Children’s Place also closed its location on the first floor.
Tuttle Crossing is one of about 170 retail properties, including about 80 malls, owned by Namdar Realty Group and Mason Asset Management, named as “prolific real-estate partners” who operate struggling shopping districts after purchasing them for cheap, according to a profile by The Wall Street Journal.
Founded in 1986, Five Guys boasts more than 250,000 ways to customize your burger and more than 1,000 milkshake combinations. The Virginia-based chain first opened a Columbus location in 2009 and continued expanding with restaurants in Blacklick, Gahanna, Easton Town Center and more.
