Massachusetts’ latest Shake Shack opening will be at Arsenal Yards in Watertown, according to an announcement from the company.
The announcement reads:
More Shacks to Massachusetts! Shake Shack® is thrilled to announce that to celebrate their newest Boston area location, the Arsenal Yards Shack will host a grand opening holiday event from 11AM – 10PM on Saturday, December 21st. The holiday activation will include holiday swag, shake sampling, ornament decorating, Santa, games, holiday cheer and more – first 100 guests will even receive a Shake Shack holiday survival kit. RSVP here to join in on the fun!
The Shack is located at 106 Arsenal Yards Boulevard and is currently operating as a takeout only restaurant, but will be fully operational by the end of the year. The new location will be part of Arsenal Yards, a new neighborhood in Watertown that totals more than one million square feet with over 50 curated shops, eateries, fitness, and entertainment venues.
Shake Shack is a critically acclaimed, modern day “roadside” burger stand known for its 100% all-natural Angus beef burgers, chicken sandwiches and griddled flat-top dogs (no hormones or antibiotics – ever), fresh-made frozen custard, crispy crinkle cut fries and more. A fun and lively community gathering place with widespread appeal, Shake Shack has earned a cult-like following around the world.
In addition to the classics, the Arsenal Yards Shack will be spinning up a unique selection of frozen custard concretes:
- Choc Heard Round the World – Chocolate custard, fudge sauce, chocolate truffle cookie dough, malt, cocoa powder
- Crunch-Stellation – Vanilla custard, malt, chocolate sprinkles and chocolate toffee
- Pie Oh My – Vanilla custard blended with pieces of Four & Twenty Blackbirds seasonal pie
As part of Shake Shack’s mission to Stand For Something Good®, the Arsenal Yards Shack will donate 5% of sales from the Pie Oh My concrete to Project Bread, a nonprofit that provides Massachusetts’ hungry with sustainable, reliable access to healthy food.
The 3,528 square-foot Shack will feature an outdoor patio with ample seating for guests. In keeping with Shake Shack’s commitment to green architecture and eco-friendly construction, the Arsenal Yards Shack’s tabletops will be made by CounterEvolution using reclaimed bowling alley lanes; chairs will be designed by Uhuru using sustainable materials; and booths will be crafted by Staach using lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
Shake Shack is now hiring full-time and part-time team members – no previous experience required! Apply online at ShackCareers.com.
