Update on Shake Shack’s official opening date in Sterling

It looks like the new team at the Shake Shack restaurant in Sterling is going to take an extra week before opening.

Per a manager at the store and a sign out front, the date is now set for Wednesday, August 12.

We had previously reported that Shake Shack was aiming to open a week earlier based on word from a rep for the company, but we stressed that date was not yet official.

As The Burn has been reporting for the past three years – since we broke the news in August 2023 – Shake Shack is opening in the Cascades Marketplace shopping plaza off Palisade Parkway.

An entirely new building has gone up on the parcel of land that was previously home to a McDonalds restaurant.

When Shake Shack opens on the 12th, it will also feature a double drive-thru lane.

As the brand expands into more suburban areas, it has been experimenting with drive-thru lanes. It reportedly launched its first drive-thru in 2021.
