Shake Shack Opens 1st Boulder Location

BOULDER, CO — Shake Shack opened its first Boulder restaurant Friday near the University of Colorado Boulder's east campus. The new spot is Colorado's fifth Shake Shack location.

The restaurant donated $1 for every check on opening day to the Colorado Healing Fund in the wake of the deadly shooting in Boulder.

“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,” said Andrew McCaughan, Chief Development Officer of Shake Shack.

"What an amazing and beautiful community — we are excited to be part of it.”

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

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

The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Customers are able to place orders to-go at the new spot or preorder for delivery or pickup via the Shack app and online. They can then pick up their orders at a walk-up window.

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