Last week during my vacation, I went to the new Shake Shack in Kansas City (at Country Club Plaza).
Over the summer, I finally made it to the relatively new location in St. Louis.
I suppose this is as good a time as any to document my past Shake Shack trips.
I first had the opportunity to go in early May 2014 when a trip to Rhode Island included a day trip to Boston and the Chestnut Hill location.
My next encounter didn’t come until Shake Shack made its way to Arizona, which it did at the end of a February 2016 at the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall.
I then got to check out the River North location in Chicago during my #funemployment trip:
By the time I made it back to Arizona, the second location there was open at Camelback and Central in Phoenix.
...but, then I moved to southwest Missouri. No more local Shake Shack for me.
I did get to go twice during a trip to Boston in September 2017 – once again to Chestnut Hill, and a second time at the Newbury Street location near the Boston Public Library.
A return trip to Boston in April 2018 took me to the Harvard Square location.
Even though I’m on a bit of a Shake Shack island in this part of the country, it is exciting to have them move into Missouri, even if it means a three-hour drive in each direction. Obviously, I’m excited to go to even more on future trips!
Update: 2019 saw me check off three more Shake Shack locations.
In April, we went to the one on the top level of the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN.
Then, my first trip in the Telluride in early November took us to the new location in Leawood, KS (Kansas City).
And finally, another trip to Boston in December allowed us to go to the location at Legacy Place in Dedham several times.
Update 2021: two more.
The slow waning of the pandemic allowed me to make it to the new location in the St. Louis area in Ladue at the end of March.
And our honeymoon trip to the Pacific Northwest allowed us to stop at the location in downtown Seattle.
