It's finally here! The beloved East Coast burger chain is planning to open its first Bay Area location at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto this fall. The menu will feature all the Shack classics, including the ShackBurger, crinkle-cut fries and hand-spun shakes and a selection of frozen custard concretes in collaboration with local food purveyors.
The space (a former Wells Fargo bank attached to a PF Chang’s) faces a small park and the burger restaurant plans to set up tables, chairs, string lights and games reminiscent of the original Shack in Madison Square Park.
“Throughout our team’s over 30-year history in fine dining at Union Square Hospitality Group, we’ve long admired the talented chefs, winemakers and artisans of the Bay Area’s vibrant food scene,” said Randy Garutti, Shake Shack CEO. “It is with great respect and humility that we enter that landscape, deepen our West Coast roots, and bring a new community gathering place to this iconic city after so many years.”
Shake Shack is also considering locations in Marin and the Marina. Yes, please!
