Shake Shack plans to open its first Latin America location in Mexico City in 2019.
It will mark the first of 30 planned locations in Mexico over nine years, according to a press release. Shake Shack is partnering with Grupo Toks, a food and retail group based in Mexico, on the expansion strategy.
"We couldn't be more excited about launching in Mexico," said Michael Kark, vice president of Global Licensing at Shake Shack, in the release. "For years our fans have been asking for Shake Shack to land in their neighborhood, and we're thrilled thrilled to partner with Grupo Toks to build a place for the CDMX community to gather for a ShackBurger."
