Rumor has it that the Shake Shack Philadelphia that has been blocking traffic at the corner of 20th and Sansom Streets for quite some time is nearly complete and could open by the 4th of July holiday. Needless to say we are VERY excited!
Here’s some info from the Shake Shack Philadelphia Facebook Page:
Shake Shack is a modern day “roadside” burger stand serving the most delicious burgers, fries, hot dogs, frozen custard, beer, wine and more! Their mission is “To preserve (and add our spin on) the culinary traditions of classic American burger stands.” Shake Shack uses the finest local ingredients to make our version of much-loved American classics. Shake Shack opened its windows in Madison Square Park in 2004 (Manhattan) and immediately became a neighborhood fixture, with locals, tourists and people from all walks of life gathering to enjoy some Shack goodness. The rest, as they say, is burger history.
Interestingly, the Shake Shack Philadelphia building contains a “living wall” made of custom panels and planters made from recycled steel filled with ivy, seasonal flowers, trailing vines and evergreen shrubs. Here is a pic:
This will be the first Shake Shack in Philadelphia.
Shake Shack Philadelphia Press Release
SHAKE SHACK’S COMING TO THE CITY OF BROTHERY LOVE FIRST PHILADELPHIA LOCATION TO OPEN IN 2012! NYC’s Beloved Burger, Hot Dog and Frozen Custard Stand Will Make Its Home in Center City Monday, June 13, 2011 New York – Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) plans to bring its Shake Shack to Philadelphia in 2012. One of NYC’s most lauded eateries and beloved gathering places, Shake Shack is a modern day “roadside” burger stand known for its delicious burgers, hot dogs, frozen custard, beer, wine and more.
Shake Shack Philadelphia is centrally located at 2000 Sansom Street (corner of 20th and Sansom), near beautiful Rittenhouse Square in Center City. The new Shake Shack Philadelphia is slated to open in the second half of 2012. “My colleagues and I are thrilled to introduce Shake Shack Philadelphia,” said Danny Meyer, CEO of USHG. “We are incredibly excited to have the privilege to add our voice to the city’s vibrant culinary dialogue. Philadelphians are famously passionate about the things they love, and we truly hope they’ll embrace our ShackBurgers, hot dogs and frozen custard with that same enthusiasm.”
The Shake Shack Philadelphia will build upon the success of six siblings throughout New York City – Madison Square Park (the original Shack, founded in 2004), Upper West Side (2008), Citi Field – home of the New York Mets (2009), Theater District (2010), Upper East Side (2010) and Battery Park City (2011), as well as its locations in Miami Beach (2010), Washington, DC (Dupont Circle and Nationals Park, both in 2011) and Saratoga Race Course, NY (2010). Additionally, Shake Shack opened its first location overseas this spring in Dubai, UAE, with a second opening mid-Summer in Kuwait City.
Shake Shack was born from a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park created by Union Square Hospitality Group to support the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s first art installation “I ♥Taxi.” The cart was a success and lines formed daily, so it re-opened for an additional two summers in 2002 and 2003. In July 2004 USHG was awarded the contract from New York City’s Department of Parks & Recreation and the Madison Square Park Conservancy to create a permanent food kiosk in the park. Shake Shack opened and instantly became a NYC institution with a loyal following, receiving numerous accolades from the press including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, New York Magazine, Food & Wine, Travel & Leisure, Food Network and The TODAY Show among others, and was voted one of the Most Popular Restaurants in New York according to Zagat.
