Shake Shack To Open New Jersey's First Drive-Thru
The location has been approved on Route 17 South in Hasbrouck Heights, and is one of 10 drive-thrus the company plans to open in 2022.
HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ — Shake Shack, the fast casual burger chain with origins in New York City, is approved to open the first drive-thru location in New Jersey.
First reported by TapInto, the Hasbrouck Heights Planning Board approved the company for a location on Route 17 South. Of the chain's 12 locations in New Jersey, this will be the first with a drive-thru.
According to TapInto, the company will look to demolish the defunct Mt.Fuji which currently occupies the space, building a 2,100 square-foot restaurant with two drive-thru lanes. Those lanes should be able to fit 26 cars.
