Shake Shack to open first area location in Providence

The first local Shake Shack is set to open next week.

The location will be at 249 Thayer Street in Providence.

The chain describes itself as a modern day roadside burger stand known for its 100% all-natural Angus beef burgers. According to the chain, the beef is freshly ground, never frozen, and made from premium whole muscle cuts—no hormones or antibiotics, ever.

In addition to the classics, the Thayer Street Shack will be spinnin’ up the Pie Oh My concrete, a vanilla custard blended with pieces of Four & Twenty Blackbirds seasonal pie.

“We pride ourselves on sourcing incredible ingredients from like-minded ranchers, farmers, bakers and food purveyors. Our burgers are made with 100% all-natural Angus beef—vegetarian fed, humanely raised and source verified. The Chick’n Shack™ is 100% all-natural cage-free chicken. Our flat-top dogs? 100% all-natural Vienna beef. Our fries are crinkle cut Yukon potatoes, with zero artificial ingredients. And our vanilla and chocolate frozen custard recipes use only real sugar, no corn syrup and milk from dairy farmers who pledge not to use artificial growth hormones.”

The new location is set to open Wednesday, March 20.
