About Shake Shack
Shake Shack is a publicly traded, fast-casual restaurant chain known for its elevated take on classic American fare, including burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and hand-spun shakes. Originally launched in 2004 as a hot dog stand in New York City’s Madison Square Park, the brand has grown to over 550 locations worldwide, with approximately 329 company-operated units in the U.S. and a significant international licensed presence. Shake Shack continues to pursue aggressive expansion, targeting 1,500 U.S. company-owned locations over time and planning 45 new domestic stores in 2025 alone. Store formats range from urban flagships to suburban drive-thrus, typically spanning 2,500 to 3,500 square feet, with newer locations emphasizing digital ordering and off-premise capabilities. The company selects high-traffic sites in urban retail corridors, lifestyle centers, and suburban pads, often co-locating with other popular fast-casual and lifestyle brands.
