They're getting closer! Yes, Shake Shack will be opening at the
Queens Center Mall. Not optimal, but I'll take it! Joy! They've already
had locations in Queens, but at irritatingly beyond-Queens focused
spots, like Kennedy Airport and Citi Field. This one's just for us,
kinda. Whatevs. It's awesome.
Oh NO! This is the worst BEST news ever. Time to up the work-out efforts!
ReplyDeleteShake Shack should design a truck and set up on Continental Av or Queens Blvd. that would be awesome. Perhaps Shake Shack already has a truck they use for special events.
ReplyDeleteif you like long lines on the sidewalk in FH, sure.
DeleteWow -- Shake Shack in Queens... only 5 years too late!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! My sister keeps raving about the ones in Manhattan!
ReplyDeleteWho wants to go to Queens Center Mall for a shake burger? Only the desperate and demented.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely chap. NOT.
DeleteThat would explain why the food court recently McDonalds closed.
ReplyDeleteAccording to amNewYork: "The new shack is currently under construction on the first floor of the mall, where an Urban Outfitters previously stood, and will reportedly be open in 2016." So it won't be in the food court, which makes sense. The lines would block all the other vendors there.
DeleteMcDonalds knew that it wouldn't be worth renewing their lease if SS was coming to the mall. Even if it was located on a different floor.
DeleteWhy does it need to be on a truck. There are plenty of empty stores
ReplyDeleteThey wouldn't dare pay the outrageous rent around Austin Street.
ReplyDeleteI just heard one is coming to Forest Hills in the old Strawberry location, anyone know if this is a rumor? Seems like a bad spot and now I'm thinking that they confused it with this new
ReplyDeleteBeth, What is your source for this info? I don't think it's a bad spot at all, actually. A two-story building that is highly visible.... would be very exciting if true.
DeleteI was hoping that spot would be taken by a Blink/Planet Fitness-type gym (I had the same hope for the old Staples spot, or even for the kiosk-sized Starbucks to take it, but we all know how THAT turned out…).
