Glendale Will Get A Shake Shack Restaurant Next Year

First it was Dunkin Donuts, and now it's Shake Shack. The East Coast overlords have been slowly making their mark throughout Los Angeles, and our city will now be blessed with not one, but two Shake Shack locations.
Reps for the burger chain, which often gets compared to In-N-Out in East Coast vs. West Coast burger battles, confirmed to Eater LA that the second outpost opening late next year will be in Glendale, across the street from the Americana at the Brand.
In April, Shake Shack announced that they would be opening a location in West Hollywood in 2016, and said we could expect on their menu their all-natural burger patties, hot dogs, crinkle-cut fries and frozen custard. While the location is under construction right now, they've livened up the currently drab site by commissioning Danish artist Thomas Dambo to create a colorful, interactive art installation along the construction wall, dubbed The Happy Wall. Dambo installed 1,664 wood pixels on spinners in various colors earlier this month, allowing passersby to flip the pixels to make their own art, design or have it spell out words.
Support for LAist comes from
Shake Shack has been expanding across the country recently. At the end of last year, they opened new locations in Chicago and Las Vegas.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
