Shake Shack Shakes Up Manila
First Quarter of 2019

GOOD news to burger lovers who have tried Shake Shack in the United States and loved it: Shake Shack is coming to Manila soon, specifically in the first quarter of 2019, and promises to treat Filipinos to the same Shack Burger, Chick’n Shack and Shack-cago Dog that diners swear by in the U.S.

New York’s critically-acclaimed modern-day roadside burger stand chain, Shake Shack has through the years gained a cult following for its range of 100% all-natural Angus beef burgers, chicken sandwiches, flat-top Vienna beef dogs with no hormones or antibiotics, fresh-spun frozen custard, crinkle-cut fries, craft beer, wine and more. Committed to using real, premium ingredients and creating a fun and lively environment for diners, Shake Shack opened its first store in New York City’s Madison Square Park in 2004 with the mission to Stand for Something Good. Since then, it has expanded to over 170 locations in 21 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. The chain has also spread its wings further and opened stores in more than 60 international locations. These include London, Hong Kong, Dubai, Istanbul, Moscow, Tokyo, Seoul and, soon, Manila.
