Five Guys is expanding hard in my area and just put one in about a mile from my house.
I would bet that location is out of business in a year.

They're expanding faster than acne on a 14-year-old's face. It's certainly the concern with In-N-Out caving and going into Texas, though it's building a production plant there like the big one it has in SoCal in which ingredients are delivered daily.

I hope In-N-Out caves and goes across the country, but I don't think that will happen.
The Five Guys that opened near me did gangbusters business for a few months, but now is really struggling and everyone who goes there benches about how much it costs. I think they need their most famous customer to do another free commercial on national TV.
