Shake Shack opening Singapore flagship in 2019

October 10, 2018

After announcing that flagship locations will open next year in Shanghai and Manila, plans are now underway for Shake Shack and partner SPC Group to launch the first Shack in Singapore in 2019.

"We are executing our strategic plan in Asia with plans to launch in Singapore, Shanghai, and Manila in 2019," said Michael Kark, VP of Global Licensing of SPC, based in South Korea with 30 brands and more than 6,000 stores, "For years we've been looking for the right opportunity to enter the Singaporean market given its regional importance, and we're thrilled to have found the right strategic partner and an ideal launch location. Our flagship site will be in the stunning Jewel Changi Airport, home to more than 2,000 trees, harkening back to Shake Shack's birthplace in NYC's Madison Square Park."

Shake Shack first launched in Asia at Tokyo's Gaien Park in 2015, and since then has expanded to include 10 Shacks in Japan, seven in South Korea, and a May 2018, Hong Kong flagship with a second Hong Kong location planned to open at Pacific Place near the end of the year.

Since the original Shack opened in 2004, in NYC's Madison Square Park, the company has expanded to more than 180 locations in 26 U.S. States and the District of Columbia, including more than 70 international locations across London, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Dubai, Tokyo, Moscow, Seoul and more.
