It looks like the burger joint known as The Counter will be leaving its longtime spot at the Reston Town Center and it will be replaced by the latest location of the popular Shake Shack brand.
Online documents show that permit applications have been filed for a Shake Shack at 11922 Democracy Drive, the address of The Counter.
Shake Shack famously got its start as a hot dog stand in New York City back in 2001. It has since grown to more than 400 restaurant locations in the U.S. and overseas.
The brand continues to add locations around Northern Virginia. As regular readers know, Loudoun County is getting its first Shake Shack in the Cascades Marketplace shopping center in Sterling.
The McDonald’s restaurant there is scheduled to be replaced by a drive-thru Shake Shack, possibly sometime in 2025.
