Shake Shack Eyes Pentagon City Location

Shake Shack (Photo via Wikipedia/Beyond My Ken)Shake Shack is looking at the burger desert of Pentagon City for a possible future expansion.

The New York-based burger, hot dog and milkshake chain opened its fourth D.C. location yesterday, at Union Station.

At the opening, Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti told Eater.com that he’s considering a future location in Pentagon City.

Eater’s Missy Frederick reports:

“I’d like to someday be further outside the city,” he said, though there are no concrete plans to open any locations there yet. Garutti could see such markets as Bethesda, Reston and Pentagon City responding well to a location.

While Crystal City has a Good Stuff Eatery, the only fast food burger option of note in Pentagon City is the McDonald’s in Pentagon City mall.
