Project Overview

 

When Five Guys relocated to a new unit within the bustling Westfield Shopping Centre, they teamed up with the design experts at Blacksheep to bring a fresh, standout look to their space. Lyco was brought on board to deliver innovative, tailor-made lighting solutions that aligned with the new design vision and enhanced the customer experience.

 

“Lyco have worked with Five Guys since the first UK opening at Covent Garden back in 2013. For this project, Lyco were tasked with sourcing new bespoke pendant lights to a specific Five Guys specification – alongside recommending, procuring, and delivering new feature lighting tracks. Lyco’s knowledge has proved invaluable and their team continue to deliver great service, reinforcing the strength of the partnership” 

Edward Bryant-Mole | Five Guys Head Of Construction - UK

 

Client’s Goal

 

The brief was clear: Create a distinctive ambiance that complemented Five Guys’ vibrant brand identity, while embracing the latest technologies and maintaining high functionality. This involved a full lighting redesign, focusing on custom colour finishes and the integration of modern, eye-catching fixtures.

Our Solution

 

Lyco collaborated closely with the design team to source and deliver:

  • Custom Track Lighting: Instead of the typical LED panels used front-of-house, we supplied a grid system of track lighting in a bold, specified red RAL colour. This choice brought a modern, industrial feel that elevated the space’s character.
  • Bespoke Pendant Fixtures: Moving beyond the standard red and white pendants, we provided pendants in a sleek brushed steel finish with red and white inner shades. To add warmth and a unique touch to booth seating areas, we also supplied dome-shaped pendants matching this finish.
  • Cutting-Edge Tech: This was the first Five Guys store to feature self-ordering kiosks paired with an illuminated digital menu board, a step forward in enhancing customer interaction and operational efficiency.

 

Challenges 

 

  • Extended Lead Times: The custom pendants had a 4–6 week lead time and were shipped from Ireland, requiring careful project management to ensure timely delivery.
  • Logistical Coordination: Deliveries to the Westfield unit required pre-booked time slots and use of a dedicated vehicle due to site constraints. Our team coordinated closely with the centre management and logistics partners to guarantee smooth, on-time installation.

Results

 

  • The new lighting concept significantly elevated the restaurant’s atmosphere, making it a standout destination within Westfield.
  • The brushed steel and red accents created a modern, cohesive look that aligned perfectly with the Five Guys brand identity.
  • The integration of self-ordering kiosks and illuminated digital menu boards improved customer flow and service speed, setting a new standard for future Five Guys locations.
