Shake Shack To Open 1st Boulder Location

BOULDER, CO — Shake Shack is set to open its first Boulder restaurant March 26 near the University of Colorado Boulder's east campus. The new spot will be Colorado's fifth Shake Shack location.

The restaurant will be donating a meal to The Food Bank of the Rockies for every order placed on opening day, the company said.

“We can’t wait to open the doors to the first Shake Shack in Boulder,” said Andrew McCaughan, Chief Development Officer of Shake Shack.

“We hope the features of this Shack resonate with the Boulder lifestyle, including a great patio overlooking the Flatirons, a Shack Track walk-up window for ease of pickup, and our Green Chile CheddarShack paired with local beers. What an amazing and beautiful community — we are excited to be part of it.”

The "regionally exclusive" Cheddarshack burger will feature Hatch green chilies that are grown and roasted in New Mexico, the burger chain said.

The new Boulder spot will also include dog bowls on its patio and a dog "leash parking" station.

Since the original Shack opened in 2004 in NYC’s Madison Square Park, the company has expanded to more than 300 locations across the U.S. and around the world.
