Shake Shack Opening Soon at Pentagon City

The eatery is hiring employees and Pentagon City notes a date that the store is expected to open next month.

ARLINGTON, VA -- There are signs that the new Shake Shack coming to Pentagon City shopping center is set to open soon.

The doors could be opening as soon as next week, according to an announcement on the Simon Property Group Website that notes: "This store is expected to open as of 4/7/2016." That's a week from Thursday.

The popular chain is designed as a modern day “roadside” burger stand, serving up burgers, hot dogs, frozen custard, shakes and more. Shake Shack is now serving chicken sandwiches and patrons seem to especially like the "crinkle cut" fries. Each Shake Shack tweaks its own menu; the Arlington location's Website is not up yet but you can check out the Tysons location menu here.
