Popular Shake Shack Eatery Coming To Midtown Tampa Development

TAMPA, FL — Shake Shack, the popular burger joint created by nationally known restaurateur Danny Meyer, will make its debut in Tampa as part of the $500 million mixed-used Midtown Tampa development.

“Shake Shack is an iconic brand with worldwide recognition, and is yet another first-to-market restaurant that we’re thrilled to bring to Tampa,” said Nicholas Haines, CEO of Bromley Companies, developer of Midtown Tampa. “We’ve followed Shake Shack from its first location next to our office in New York’s Madison Square Park, and appreciate the delight and appeal it has to its customers.”

Shake Shack was founded by Meyer, who heads the Union Square Hospitality Group that includes New York City's Union Square Cafe, which he founded, Gramercy Tavern and The Modern. He's a best-selling author and winner of 28 James Beard awards.

With more than 170 locations worldwide, Shake Shack has garnered a cult-like following. The eatery serves all-natural Angus beef burgers, chicken sandwiches, griddled flat-top hot dogs, fresh-made frozen custard and crinkle-cut fries.

Additionally, Shake Shack will serve wine and beer, including some from local breweries as well as Shake Shack’s exclusive Brooklyn Brewery ShackMeister Ale.

Wine lovers can also enjoy a glass of Shack Red and Shack White wine.

Shake Shack will be located at Midtown’s main entrance off Cypress Street and occupy 3,200 square feet.

Positioned to connect Downtown Tampa with the Westshore District, construction is well underway on the first phase with of Midtown Tampa with completion expected in early 2021.

The development will feature 1.8 million square feet of retail, residential, Class A office, entertainment and hospitality.
