Shake Shack is a critically acclaimed, modern day “roadside” burger stand known for its 100% all-natural Angus beef burgers, chicken sandwiches and flat-top Vienna beef dogs (no hormones or antibiotics - ever), frozen custard, 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. Shake Shack opened its first Atlanta location in Buckhead in 2014 and its second location in Perimeter Mall in 2016.

“Shake Shack couldn’t be more excited to touch down in the world’s busiest airport,” said Michael Kark, Shake Shack’s Vice President of Global Licensing. “This marks an important step in our travel venue growth, and we’re delighted to bring together even more passengers from around the globe for a ShackBurger.”

A grand opening is planned for October and will include a ribbon cutting ceremony with CI’s CEO Donata Russell Ross, Randy Hazelton CEO of H&H Hospitality, and city of Atlanta and airport officials. Travelers will be able to enjoy delicious Shake Shack samples, live music, and giveaways.

“The Shake Shack brand is world famous and a great addition to serve the global travelers coming through Hartsfield-Jackson,” says Donata Russell Ross, CI’s Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to working with the entire Shake Shack team as we open this new location in Atlanta.”

According to Randy Hazelton, CEO of H&H Hospitality, “COO, Kevin Holt and I are absolutely thrilled to bring a best-in-class brand to a best-in-class airport.”
