I love that you had a similar experience in the Knoxville location. Its brilliant you gave the assistant manager a copy of the Supermanager, he will love it i’m sure. It would be great if some of these restaurants would partner up with you and give all their managers a copy of your book.

Its interesting to hear how similar an experience Five Guys customers are having in other local markets.

I went to a Five Guys location in Knoxville earlier today. I was really impressed.

I spoke with an assistant manager for about 5-10 minutes. He was really, really nice. Also, I gave him a copy of The Supermanager.

And you were right about their fries!

Thanks for writing about this impressive company.

The line ups are long and according to my son and his girlfriend, the food outstanding and well worth the price. Five Guys, like another pizza restaurant here in Winnipeg, (http://www.dianasgourmetpizzeria.ca), made the conscious choice not to compete on price and instead focused on quality product and great service. By doing so, they eliminated the cost-conscious consumer from their customer base, but as they so clearly demonstrated, there are a lot of people willing to pay more for both those qualities.
