Shake Shack Expands Toronto Presence with New Locations Set to Open at Union Station and Yorkdale Shopping Centre

Toronto expansion aims to meet guests where they are, which is often Canada's busiest transit hub and premier shopping centre.

TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2024 /CNW/ - Following the successful debut of its first Canadian location at Yonge & Dundas earlier this year, Shake Shack is excited to announce two upcoming locations in Toronto set to open their doors this winter.

Union Station

Situated in the heart of Toronto's bustling transportation hub, Shake Shack Union Station will be one of the few locations worldwide to feature a full bar and cocktails crafted exclusively for Shake Shack. Whether grabbing a quick bite on the way to a game or enjoying a leisurely meal before catching a train, guests will appreciate the convenience and vibrant atmosphere of this iconic location.

The thoughtfully designed space will feature artwork by Toronto-based illustrator Pui Yan Fong. Pui Yan's diverse background and passion for storytelling through illustration brings to life the energy of Union Station and the surrounding neighborhood.

Yorkdale Shopping Centre

As one of Canada's premier shopping destinations, Shake Shack Yorkdale will offer a welcoming dining space for shoppers. Vivian Rosas, a Toronto-based queer Mestizx/Latinx illustrator, brings her unique artistry to the Yorkdale Shack. Known for her powerful depictions of feminism, empowerment, and diversity, Vivian's work celebrates the inclusiveness and community that Shake Shack strives to offer.

"Toronto has been incredibly welcoming, and we're excited to further our presence in the city with these two fantastic locations," said Billy Richmond, Business Director of Shake Shack Canada. "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."

Guests can expect the same high-quality ingredients and warm hospitality that has earned Shake Shack a following around the world at both Union Station and Yorkdale. These Shacks will serve signature classics like 100% Canadian Angus beef burgers and crispy chicken, all made fresh and raised without antibiotics or added hormones, as well as crispy crinkle-cut fries and hand-spun frozen custard crafted with premium Canadian dairy, real cane sugar, and cage-free eggs.

With these new locations, Shake Shack continues to establish itself as a go-to destination for Toronto food lovers, offering inviting spaces where quality and community are always top of mind.
