Shake Shack is an American fast casual restaurant chain based in New York City. It started out as a hot dog cart inside Madison Square Park in 2001, and its popularity steadily grew. In 2004, it moved to a stand within the park, expanding its menu from New York–style hotdogs to one with hamburgers, hotdogs, fries and its namesake milkshakes. Since its founding, it has been one of the fastest-growing food chains, eventually becoming a public company in 2014 (NYSE: SHAK). The company has expanded to over 450 locations system-wide, including 295 in 32 U.S. States and the District of Columbia, and over 155 international locations across London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Mexico City, Istanbul, Dubai, Tokyo, Seoul and more. The company’s gross revenue for 2022 was over $900M, which is a 21.7% increase from 2021. Shake Shack’s current market cap is $2.31B. The company operates under the Umbrella of Union Square Hospitality Group, operator of a number of New York City's best upscale restaurants, including the nearby Eleven Madison Park.
