Shake Shack will soon open in Seoul, South Korea, as a result of its partnership with SPC Group, a global food company based in South Korea. The SPC Group, based in Korea, which runs 43 companies, 30 brands and over 6,000 stores worldwide, will open the first of 25 Shake Shacks in 2016, according to a company press release.

"We've heard from fans in South Korea for years that they'd like us to bring Shake Shack to their hometown, and we're absolutely delighted to do so in the dynamic capital of Seoul," said Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti. "We consider it the highest privilege to partner with SPC Group, a revered operator whose admirable community commitment pairs strongly with our mission to, 'Stand For Something Good.'"

The Seoul Shack menu will feature Shake Shack's signature items including the ShackBurger, SmokeShack, and Shack-cago Dog. As it has done around the world, Shake Shack intends to work with local purveyors and producers to create a one-of-a-kind Shack for the Seoul community, Garutti said.
