Shake Shack, the rapidly expanding restaurant chain known for its burgers, fries and milkshakes, has lined up its first Richmond-area location.
The company this week filed permits to begin work for an outpost at 5400 W. Broad St., on the site of a boarded-up former Applebee’s.
The parcel is part of the Willow Place shopping center near West Broad Street’s intersection with Libbie Avenue. Planning documents indicate the long-vacant, 4,700-square-foot Applebee’s structure would be razed to make way for a new building to be occupied by Shake Shack.
Representatives for Shake Shack weren’t immediately available for comment today.
Founded in New York City in 2004, Shake Shack has grown to over 360 locations globally, the majority of those spread across 32 states in the U.S. It has dozens of locations in D.C. and Northern Virginia and opened a Virginia Beach location in 2019.
The former Applebee’s building and the entire Willow Place shopping center is owned by Richmond-based Sauer Properties.
