A new ‘Halal Information’ section has been added to the website to answer customers’ questions.
A major change has been made at Five Guys. ‘For two weeks now,’ since October 17, six restaurants belonging to the American chain, including the one on Place de Clichy in Paris’s 9th arrondissement, have been serving halal-certified beef in their burgers and hot dogs.
In a Q&A series published on its French website, Five Guys states that ‘the beef served in the following restaurants comes from halal-certified suppliers’. These restaurants are located in Lyon Part-Dieu, Paris Place de Clichy, Rosny 2, Créteil Soleil, Marseille Vieux-Port and Lille rue de Béthune.
Another noteworthy development: these six establishments do not sell ‘alcohol,’ as Five Guys states in its new «‘Halal Information’ section.» .
As if to pre-empt potential criticism, the company explains that it wants to ‘offer [its] Five Guys burgers and fries to as many people as possible.’
