Five Guys Closes on Detroit Avenue

The burger joint posts a message on its doors saying goodbye.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries, the national burger chain that opened its doors in Lakewood a few years back, has closed its doors on Detroit Avenue. 

The news came by surprise — as the restaurant quietly closed up — even though the Lakewood location was clearly not as bustling as some of its other locations.
