Shake Shack sells seven tractor trailers worth of fries a week.

After what felt like decades of anticipation, Shake Shack debuted near the University Town Center mall in April, delivering its patented take on roadside cuisine to locals craving better burgers ā€™nā€™ fries. The chain was born in 2001 as a food cart in Madison Square Park in New York City, and was the brainchild of Danny Meyer, until then best known as the high-end restaurateur behind Michelin-worthy eateries like Gramercy Tavern. Shake Shack now operates roughly 250 locations around the world, with a commitment to serving all-natural, humanely raised beef, cage-free chicken and frozen custards sweetened with real sugar.
