Deerfield Twp. – Five Guys Burgers and Fries plans to invest about $400,000 to open a store at 9540 Mason-Montgomery Road by late April. The restaurant will be in the former Metro Bagels location.

Joe Carroll, a partner in the Orlando, Fla.-based franchise group that operates Five Guys locally, said the Deerfield location has great visibility.

“It was a market we always targeted and we grabbed the space when it became available,” Carroll says.

He said the location will create between 45 and 50 new jobs and seat about 90 people.

Carroll’s group also operates Five Guys in Clifton Heights, Crescent Springs, West Chester and Norwood.
