Five Guys burger chain makes plans for a downtown Raleigh location. What we know
Virginia-founded fast food chain Five Guys Burgers & Fries is expanding into downtown Raleigh’s Fayetteville Street, according to sketch plans filed with the city. While those involved have declined to comment, Five Guys has begun the process to customize 442 Fayetteville St. to accommodate the national chain’s specifications, according to plans filed on Monday, Oct 19 . “There is nothing to comment on at this time,” said an employee of real estate company, CBRE, that manages leasing for the high-foot-traffic site. The building at 442 Fayetteville St., located in downtown Raleigh’s City Plaza, is owned by Highwoods Properties Inc., a real estate investment trust that is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Although the sketch plans have been submitted, they still have to undergo review. Five Guys is seeking to renovate the interior and create additional space in the rear of the building for walk-in cooler and storage space. The plan review is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4. Earlier this year, Fayetteville Street and Downtown Raleigh were the subject of an opinion piece by a local business owner published in The News & Observer. The piece addressed reasons the writer believes many downtown businesses are struggling right now.

Winston’s Grille Celebrates 40 Years in Raleigh
Forty years is a long time for a restaurant to stick around. But at Winston’s Grille, which just hit that milestone in October, perhaps the more remarkable number isn’t 40. It might be 30—the roughly three decades General Manager Roger Carter has spent there. Or 20: the number...
