A popular New York-based burger chain is opening a third location in the Sacramento area this month.
Shake Shack is expected to open at 210 Palladio Parkway, Suite 2106, in Folsom on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Here’s all you need to know:
Shake Shack started out as a hot dog stand in New York City in 2001.
According to a fiscal year report released in February, the fast food chain has expanded to more than 510 locations since 2004.
There are more than 330 U.S. locations in 33 states and the District of Columbia, and as well as 180-plus international locations including spots in London, Shanghai and Mexico City.
The Sacramento area’s newest Shake Shack location occupies 3,699 square feet of space at the Palladio shopping center in Folsom, next to Noah’s Bagels. It’s near the plaza’s parking structure.
The north Sacramento County location is Shake Shack’s third restaurant in the capital region.
According to a Palladio news release, Shake Shack will employ 50 people.
“We are very excited for Shake Shack opening (its) location here in Folsom,” Palladio general manager Gloria Wright said. “The region has been asking for a Shake Shack for a long time. So not only will the locals be happy, but certainly the tourism up and down Highway 50, because they use this stop going up to Apple Hill or up to Tahoe.”
Wright added that the new location gives travelers “just one more reason to exit the freeway and come shop at Palladio and have a great meal at Shake Shack.”
The first Shake Shack in Sacramento opened in 2019 at the Ice Blocks shopping center in midtown Sacramento.
Another location opened inside of the Westfield Galleria mall in Roseville in 2020.
Shake Shack is known of its hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries and milkshakes.
The fast food chain serves up burgers made with 100% Angus beef from cows humanely raised and grazed in the United States, the company’s website said. Patties are never frozen and contain no hormones or antibiotics.
A single Shackburger starts at $7.99. The price can increase based on signature meals and add-ons.
Want some fries on the side? Regular crinkle-cut fries are $4.49, while cheese and black Parmesan truffle fries are $5.99 and bacon cheese fries are $6.99.
Soft beverages start at $3.99, with lemonades ranging in price from $4.49 to $4.99.
Signature shakes cost $6.49 to $6.99. You can add whipped cream or make it a malt for 49 cents.
Shake Shack in Folsom will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
According to Wright, Palladio is adding a total of three businesses this fall, filling nearly 9,000 square feet of space in total and creating 68 jobs.
Tru Bowl Superfood Bar, an acai bowl restaurant chain that started in southern California, celebrated its grand opening at the Folsom shopping center on Monday, Nov. 11.
Wright said Tru Bowl has a total of nine employees.
Another new store opening at Palladio is Carter’s, a retail chain specializing in baby clothing, accessories and essentials.
Carter’s will open its 3,603-square-foot store on Thursday, Nov., 14, employing nine people in total.
Wright said Carter’s is the second children’s store to ever open in Folsom.
“(Cater’s) has such a great reputation that we’re pleased to bring this needed concept to the community as well,” Wright said.
“Folsom is very family orientated, and it’s growing like crazy,” Wright said. “South of (Highway) 50 is adding 13,000 new homes, and to be able to provide healthy options like Tru Bowl (or) family-oriented concepts (suchas) the new Carter’s ... really rounds out the regional draw for the local community. It’s really great for us.”
