Shake Shack is branching out in western Pennsylvania and setting up shop in Cranberry Township, continuing their spread across the Pittsburgh region. The burger chain, which started from humble beginnings as a hot dog cart in New York's Madison Square Park, is known for its signature shakes, crinkle-cut fries, and, of course, its burgers. Taking over the space formerly occupied by Houlihan’s along Route 19, this expansion was confirmed in a statement obtained by WTAE, noting the outdoor patio feature that comes just in time for those impending warmer Pittsburgh days.
The thrill for the local burger aficionados doesn't stop there, Ross Park Mall also announced, not too long ago, that they're getting their own slice of Shake Shack heaven—though we're still holding our breaths for the official opening date, and the excitement is palpable, the Strip District Terminal in Pittsburgh had the honor of being the first western Pennsylvania home for Shake Shack back in 2024, which marked the brand's inaugural break into this side of the state. According to a Facebook post cited by CBS News, this latest location will be the fifth in the region.
Streets of Cranberry, the shopping destination that will house the new Shake Shack spot, is already home to various businesses, including Condado Tacos, First Watch, Old Navy, and Omaha Steaks, making it a diverse hub for shoppers and foodies alike. For Shake Shack, the addition of a Cranberry location only cements its growing influence in the Pittsburgh area.
