Five Guys ‘coming soon’ signs spark excitement in Magaluf as Mallorca opening rumoured

Rumours are swirling across the island after reports suggested that Five Guys could be preparing to open its first-ever restaurant in Mallorca. The speculation centres on Magaluf, where “coming soon” signs bearing the popular burger brand’s logo have allegedly appeared in recent days.

While Five Guys has yet to make any formal announcement, images shared by local residents on social media have been enough to ignite widespread excitement, particularly among British expats living on the island. The signage reportedly reads “Five Guys Magaluf – Coming Soon” and closely resembles the branding used at the chain’s restaurants across Europe and the UK.

Signs spotted in Magaluf fuel speculation

Magaluf, long known for its nightlife and international tourism, is widely viewed as a logical first location should the American chain decide to expand into Mallorca. The area attracts a steady flow of British, European and international visitors, especially during the warmer months, making it a prime spot for a globally recognised brand.

According to local chatter, the restaurant is expected to open close to an existing McDonald’s, an area with consistently high footfall. Although details remain unconfirmed, the appearance of exterior signage often suggests that planning permission and fit-out stages may already be underway.

Five Guys has expanded rapidly across Europe in recent years, with strong followings in cities such as London, Paris and Madrid. A Mallorcan opening would represent a further step in the brand’s Mediterranean expansion and could signal increased interest from other international chains eyeing the Balearic market.

Why expats are welcoming the possible arrival

If the opening is confirmed, customers can expect the full Five Guys experience Mallorca-side. The chain is renowned for its customisable beef burgers and hot dogs, with a wide range of complimentary toppings allowing diners to personalise every order. Its hand-cut fries, cooked in peanut oil, are another signature feature and are famously served in generous portions. Milkshakes, which can be mixed with a variety of flavours, are also a key part of the menu.

While Mallorca is celebrated for its traditional bars, seafood restaurants and Mediterranean cuisine, international brands continue to appeal to both tourists and year-round residents seeking familiar options alongside local fare.

For now, Five Guys has not publicly confirmed the Magaluf opening, and no official launch date has been announced. However, with “coming soon” signs reportedly already in place and online buzz growing by the day, many believe it is only a matter of time before Mallorca welcomes its first Five Guys restaurant. If the rumours are true, Mallorca’s expat community may soon be ordering a little slice of home, one burger at a time. All that remains is official confirmation… and deciding whether to order regular fries or go large!
