Five Guys opening in Ghent on 21st Street

Norfolk residents living in or near the 201 Twenty One apartment and retail complex at 21st Street and Llewellyn Avenue won't go hungry.

The landlords have signed their first tenants for the ground-level retail space: a Subway sandwich shop and Five Guys Burgers and Fries fast-food restaurant, said John Katsias, the leasing agent for the development.

The fastest-growing restaurant chain in America last year was Five Guys.

Five Guys has six other locations in Hampton Roads and one in Kill Devil Hills, N.C., and Subway has numerous locations.

The two restaurants are taking about a quarter of the 16,000 square feet of retail space at 201 Twenty One.

An art gallery also has shown interest in taking space there, Katsias said. He said he hopes to have other tenants signed soon.
