Shake Shack, the popular American fast-food chain known for its delicious burgers and fries, has made a successful debut in the Canadian market with its first location at Yonge and Dundas earlier this year. Building on this success, Shake Shack has announced plans to open two new locations in Toronto this winter, further expanding its presence in the city.

One of the upcoming locations, Shake Shack Union Station, will be one of the few Shake Shack locations worldwide to feature a full bar and offer cocktails crafted exclusively for Shake Shack. The space will also showcase artwork by Toronto-based illustrator Pui Yan Fong, known for her diverse background and passion for storytelling through illustrations. Fong’s artwork will bring to life the energy of Union Station and the surrounding neighborhood, adding a unique and local touch to the Shake Shack experience.

In addition to Shake Shack Union Station, the brand will also be opening Shake Shack Yorkdale, providing a new dining option for shoppers at the popular shopping center. The location will feature artwork by Toronto-based queer Mestizx/Latinx illustrator Vivian Rosas, known for her depictions of feminism, empowerment, and diversity. Rosas’ artwork reflects the values of inclusiveness and community that Shake Shack aims to embody, creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere for guests to enjoy their meals.

Billy Richmond, Business Director of Shake Shack Canada, expressed excitement about the brand’s expansion in Toronto, stating, “Toronto has been incredibly welcoming, and we’re excited to further our presence in the city with these two fantastic locations. Both Union Station and Yorkdale Shopping Centre offer unique opportunities to engage with our guests in new ways, and we look forward to becoming a part of these lively hubs.”

With its commitment to quality ingredients, creative menu offerings, and engaging dining experiences, Shake Shack continues to attract a loyal following of customers in Canada and around the world. The upcoming openings of Shake Shack Union Station and Shake Shack Yorkdale represent an exciting opportunity for Toronto residents and visitors to enjoy the brand’s signature burgers, fries, and shakes in unique and vibrant settings.

As Shake Shack continues to grow and expand its presence in the Canadian market, the brand remains dedicated to providing exceptional food and service to its customers. With its focus on community engagement, inclusivity, and creativity, Shake Shack is poised to become a beloved dining destination for Torontonians of all backgrounds and tastes.
