Five Guys Celebrates 40 Years with a BOGO Deal
Five Guys is celebrating its 40th birthday with a buy one burger, get one free (BOGO) offer, valid through Thursday, March 12, 2026. This promotion is part of the “40th After Party” and is available exclusively online and through the Five Guys app.
Customers can redeem the offer using the code FGAFTERPARTY. However, it is important to note that the BOGO deal is not valid for in-store orders, limiting the offer to digital transactions only.
The first BOGO offer launched on February 17, 2026, and it quickly gained popularity, leading to food shortages at some locations. Five Guys has approximately 1,500 locations across the U.S., including 32 in Tennessee, with 9 in Nashville, 6 in Knoxville, and 4 in Memphis.
In response to the overwhelming demand, Five Guys plans to distribute around $1.5 million in bonuses to store employees. This move highlights the company’s commitment to its staff during a busy promotional period.
Jerry Murrell, one of the founders of Five Guys, expressed gratitude for the customer response, stating, “We were genuinely humbled by your response.” However, the company also acknowledged challenges faced during the initial launch of the BOGO offer, with a spokesperson noting, “We didn’t meet our own standards, and that’s not something we take lightly. So, we’re asking for a do-over.”
Five Guys was founded in 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell told their sons they either had to go to college or start a business. This entrepreneurial spirit has led to the growth of the chain into a beloved fast-food option across North America.
As the promotion continues, customers are encouraged to take advantage of the BOGO deal while it lasts. Observers are keen to see how the company manages stock levels and customer satisfaction as the offer progresses.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the potential for future promotions following the BOGO deal, but the initial response has set a positive tone for Five Guys’ anniversary celebrations.
