"It’s happening: beloved NYC burger chain Shake Shack is on its way to The Woodlands. Back in June, Eater reported that Shake Shack had set its sights on a new outpost in the north ‘burbs, and construction permits filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation confirm that it will open at the Woodlands Mall at 1201 Lake Woodlands Drive, Suite 700. No opening timeline has been announced, but it’s possible that the location is set to open sometime next summer: When it opens, the new Shake Shack location will be the first in Houston’s suburbs, joining currently open restaurants in Rice Village, the Galleria, Montrose, and the chain’s newest location in Downtown Houston, along with an outpost at Minute Maid Park. Founded in 2011 as a hot dog cart in New York City by hospitality mogul Danny Meyer, Shake Shack’s beefy patties and crinkle-cut fries have quickly become a part of the city’s thriving burger scene, attracting lengthy lines when new locations open." - Amy McCarthy
"The fast-casual burger brand is being adapted for stadium settings, with teams discussing how to modify its format and offerings to suit large crowds and venue-specific service demands." - Amanda Kludt
"An established burger-and-shake brand that hospitality operators adapt for stadium crowds; its concept is scaled and tweaked so familiar menu items and flavors work under high-volume, game-day service while preserving the recognizable brand experience." - Amanda Kludt
"A long-standing Union Square Hospitality Group fast-casual presence in the ballpark that serves as a familiar, reliable option for fans and has been part of the venue for about a decade." - Sonia Chopra
"The standout is the malted shake: diluting the chain’s dense frozen custard with milk and a touch of malt yields a softer, looser, more easily drinkable shake with a gently pungent malt flavor that lightens the dairy weight compared with typical, spoon-thick fast-food shakes." - Daniela Galarza
