TORONTO, Aug. 6, 2025 /CNW/ - Following the momentum of the first three Canadian locations, Shake Shack Canada is doubling down on its commitment to Canadian guests with further expansion across the Greater Toronto Area. With six new locations opening over the next year, Shake Shack is bringing its beloved menu of burgers, Crinkle Cut Fries, and hand-spun Shakes to even more neighbourhoods.
Here's where Shake Shack is landing next:

This expansion marks a significant investment in the Canadian market, inspired by the warm welcome from local fans. Shake Shack's focus on quality ingredients, creative flair, and community-first values has been well-received by guests across the GTA.
With six new locations, Shake Shack will create over 400 new jobs, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Canada while continuing to tailor local partnerships, flavours, and experiences to Canadian tastes.
"The energy we've seen from Canadian guests since day one has been incredible," said Billy Richmond, Business Director of Shake Shack Canada. "This next chapter is about more than opening doors—it's about showing up for the communities we serve. Our intention is to deliver high-quality dining experiences that stand the test of time, and this GTA expansion sets the stage for Shake Shack's long-term success in Canada. With plans already in motion, we're excited to bring the Shack experience to more cities across Canada in the near future."
These new Shacks will continue to champion Shake Shack's local values by collaborating with talented artists to bring each space to life in a meaningful way. At Square One Shopping Centre, Shake Shack has partnered with Blake Angeconeb, an Anishinaabe woodlands artist and proud member of Lac Seul First Nation from Treaty 3 territory. A self-taught painter, Blake blends traditional woodlands art with pop culture references in bold, expressive ways. Over at Yonge & Eglinton, Canadian artist Kirsten McCrea brings her signature style to the Shack, creating moments of joyful engagement through large-scale patterned murals and vibrant installations. Known for transforming unexpected spaces, such as abandoned buildings, rooftops, and parking lots, McCrea uses radical creativity and colour to spark curiosity and delight.
Each new Shack will reflect Shake Shack's signature mix of elevated comfort food, thoughtful design, and a deep-rooted commitment to the communities it serves. With its Canadian presence growing, guests can expect local flavours, meaningful collaborations, and a distinctly Canadian Shack experience—rooted in the Shake Shack's global reputation for hospitality and quality.
