5 & Diner restaurant franchise

Join the $33 billion family dining industry when you own a 5 & Diner restaurant franchise

In 1989, 5 & Diner was created as a place where customers would be transported to a simpler time - the '50s roadside diner with affordable, top-quality food, including award-winning burgers and shakes.

The décor inside and out mimics a 1950s design. The 5 & Diner appeals to all customer segments and captures every meal, including a full breakfast menu available all day.

Family dining accounts for $33 billion in annual sales and is poised for growth as consumers demand added value through reasonable prices, menu diversity and service.
