Five Guys believes in empowering its employees both personally and professionally. One of Five Guys’ Core Convictions is “Always Do the Right Thing”.

Today, we’re excited to partner with Five Guys’ on the launch of a debt-free college education program for its employees. We’re excited to help Five Guys in a great example of that core conviction. By offering this industry leading benefit, Five Guys is giving employees the opportunity to grow their careers and pursue their educational aspirations without incurring debt.

Beyond looking to do the “right thing”, Five Guys wants to help build future leaders, improve retention and overall satisfaction with their employees through this benefit.

Five Guys’ eligible employees now have the opportunity to take advantage of the Five Guys Tuition Assistance Program and enroll in high school and college degree programs from leading nonprofit, accredited universities within Guild’s academic marketplace.

The family-run burger and fries joint that started out of Arlington, Virginia has always put its people first. At Guild, we also aim to put our people first — our core values include being good teammates, being an owner and investing in our students, who we see as core to our family. Strong, aligned values go a long way in a partnership, and that’s why we’re excited for what’s to come between Guild and Five Guys.

As a long-time DC resident, Five Guys was a frequent and favorite stop. While working in the Middle East, a trip to the Five Guys at the Dubai Mall was a welcome taste of home. So I couldn’t personally be more excited to be partnering with Five Guys here. At Guild, we’re all thrilled to partner with the Murrell family and the rest of the team at Five Guys. We look forward to seeing the immense opportunity unlocked through this program.
