Shake Shack Shake Shack’s first Bay Area location is at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto.

PALO ALTO, CA—Shake Shack’s first real estate was in the form of a hotdog cart in Madison Square Park in New York City, erected to support the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s first art installation. This humble hotdog cart was so popular that Shack fans lined up daily for three summers.

In 2004, a permanent kiosk opened in the park and Shake Shack was born. Restaurateur Danny Meyer spun off the first official Shake Shack from New York fine dining template Eleven Madison Park. Since then, the chain has expanded to more than 200 locations in 26 states (and 70 outposts internationally).
