April 22, 2015

L.A.’s first Shake Shack will open next year in the heart of West Hollywood at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and West Knoll Drive, according to a company release.

“We’ve heard from our West Coast fans for years that they’d love a Shake Shack in California, and at long last, we’re delighted to say Shake Shack LA is on its way,” said Randy Garutti, Shake Shack CEO. “Los Angeles is one of the greatest cities in the world with a culture like no other, and we look forward to being a part of the community.”

The architecture of the first L.A. Shack will build on Shake Shack’s history of creating restaurants with leading-edge design, Garutti said. Harkening back to its heritage as a “roadside” stand, the Shack will have dedicated parking and a large outdoor patio. Located at 8520 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, the freestanding Shack will be designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture. In keeping with Shake Shack’s commitment to green architecture and eco-friendly construction, the new location will incorporate a variety of recycled and sustainable materials and features energy-efficient kitchen equipment and lighting, according to the release.
