St Pancras International Welcomes New Restaurant Shake Shack
Posted by Emma on 28th Mar 2024
Shake Shack is set to launch its inaugural train station outlet in the UK at the bustling St Pancras International, marking a significant expansion of the American burger franchise. Slated for an early summer opening, this establishment will be in a key travel hub, home to Eurostar, underscoring the brand's strategic approach to accessibility and growth.

This new venture represents Shake Shack's 16th presence in the UK, extending its footprint across prime locations such as Brent Cross, Canary Wharf, Covent Garden, Oxford, and Cardiff. Notably, the St Pancras restaurant will be the second Shake Shack outlet within a travel environment, following the successful opening at Gatwick Airport's North Terminal in October 2019.
The announcement comes on the heels of a significant leadership change, with Rob Lynch, formerly CEO and president of Papa Johns, taking the helm as Shake Shack's CEO and board member. Lynch steps into the role succeeding Randy Garutti, who announced his retirement last year. Operating under a master franchise agreement with Diverse Dining, Shake Shack now boasts a global network of 430 burger restaurants, emphasizing its ongoing commitment to expansion and quality dining experiences.
