Beloved Burger Stand and Community Gathering Place Rolls Onto Santa
Monica Boulevard
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(NYSE:SHAK) – The City of Angels’ first-ever Shake Shack® is
slated to arrive in 2016. The highly anticipated Los Angeles Shack will
land in the heart of West Hollywood at the corner of Santa
Monica Boulevard and West Knoll Drive, one block west of La Cienega.
Shake Shack is a critically acclaimed, modern day “roadside” burger
stand known for its 100% all-natural, antibiotic-free Angus beef burgers
(no hormones added ever), griddled-crisp flat-top dogs, fresh-made
frozen custard, crinkle cut fries, beer and wine, and more. A fun and
lively community gathering place with widespread appeal, Shake Shack has
earned a cult-like following around the world.
“We’ve heard from our West Coast fans for years that they’d love a Shake
Shack in California, and at long last, we’re delighted to say Shake
Shack LA is on its way,” said Randy Garutti, Shake Shack CEO.
“Los Angeles is one of the greatest cities in the world with a culture
like no other, and we look forward to being a part of the community.”
The architecture of the first LA Shack will build on Shake Shack’s
history of creating restaurants with leading-edge design. Harkening back
to its heritage as a “roadside” stand, the Shack will have dedicated
parking and a large outdoor patio. Located at 8520 Santa Monica
Boulevard, West Hollywood, the freestanding Shack will be designed by Michael
Hsu Office of Architecture. In keeping with Shake Shack’s commitment
to green architecture and eco-friendly construction, the new location
will incorporate a variety of recycled and sustainable materials and
features energy-efficient kitchen equipment and lighting.
Originally founded by Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group
("USHG"), which owns and operates some of New York City’s most
celebrated restaurants: Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, The Modern
at the Museum of Modern Art, Maialino, North End Grill, Blue Smoke, and
Marta—Shake Shack’s fine-dining heritage and commitment to sourcing
premium, sustainable ingredients have helped to pioneer the creation of
a new “fine casual” category in restaurants. Fine casual couples the
ease, value and convenience of fast casual concepts with the high
standards of excellence in thoughtful ingredient sourcing, preparation,
hospitality and quality grounded in fine dining.
After more than a decade since Shake Shack was born in New York City’s
Madison Square Park, it is proud to announce its plans to land in
California.
The future’s so bright, SoCal.
