Shake Shack Opening Six New GTA Locations

Shake Shack will open six new locations across the Greater Toronto Area over the next year.

The U.S.-based burger and milk shake quick-service restaurant chain has already opened one of the six locations, in Toronto’s York district at Kitchen Hub Castlefield.

On August 19, a new Shake Shack will open at Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, Ont., the company announced. Openings are also slated this year for the Yonge & Eglinton streets area (August 19) and Vaughan Mills in Vaughan, Ont. (fall). The final two openings are scheduled for summer 2026 in Toronto in the King West district and at Yonge & Bloor streets.

“The energy we’ve seen from Canadian guests since day one has been incredible,” said Billy Richmond, business director of Shake Shack Canada. “This next chapter is about more than opening doors—it’s about showing up for the communities we serve. Our intention is to deliver high-quality dining experiences that stand the test of time, and this GTA expansion sets the stage for Shake Shack’s long-term success in Canada.

Since expanding into Canada in 2024, Shake Shack has opened three Toronto restaurants at Union Station, the Tenor and Yorkdale Shopping Centre.

“With plans already in motion, we’re excited to bring the Shack experience to more cities across Canada in the near future,” said Richmond.
