NJ.com is reporting that the owners of the Shoppes at Union Hill on Route 10 in Denville have requested a zoning variance from the town in order to allow a Five Guys burger restaurant to open. The variance request is because fast food restaurants are banned in the area.
Awesome! The Shoppes at Union Hill are only about a 10 minute drive for me, and while my arteries may not appreciate it, the Five Guys burgers and fries are delicious. In fact, Five Guys is Zagat rated, these are not fast food burgers. I have enjoyed their Hoboken and Parsippany locations many times, and having one closer would be nice.
I do not consider Five Guys a fast food restaurant. You order your food, sit down, enjoy some free peanuts, and they prepare it fresh to order. The quality of food and decor is at or above the level of the Qdoba or Panera Bread that are already in the Shoppes. If you haven’t been to a Five Guys before, you could check out the one in Parsippany at 1103 U.S. 46 for lunch today and see for yourself.
If you also think that Five Guys would make a good addition to Denville, please come to the Zoning Board meeting at 7pm tonight and express your opinions during the public hearing.
