A BURGER chain has reopened one of its Hampshire sites for click and collect and delivery orders.

Five Guys has announced that the Whiteley store has reopened as the business continues to bring more of its branches back into service following the coronavirus lockdown.

The reopening is in line with government guidelines which allow restaurants to prepare food for collection or delivery.

For customers ordering via Click and Collect, they will be prompted to pay for their order prior to visiting their local store, where social distancing measures are in place to ensure their safety and that of the crews. Customers can also have food delivered by Deliveroo.

John Eckbert, CEO of Five Guys UK, said: “We have adopted a phased approach to reopening Five Guys stores, adhering to government advice and ensuring the safety of our customers and crew is paramount.

"To date a small number of stores have remained open for Click and Collect and Deliveroo orders only and while this has been in operation, we’re proud of how our crew members have supported local hospitals and key frontline workers across the UK.”

As reported, the chain's site in Westquay, Southampton, reopened under the same operating system at the end of April.
