Introduction

Six underperforming Shake Shack locations are scheduled to close throughout California.

Those locations are the following:

• Oakland
• Bunker Hill
• Downtown Culver City
• Koreatown
• Silverlake
• Westfield Topanga

For perspective, per ScrapeHero.com's most recently updated Shake Shack location count: There are 328 Shake Shack locations in the United States as of December 16, 2023. The state and territory with the most number of Shake Shack locations in the US is New York, with 49 locations, which is about 15% of all Shake Shack locations in the US.

Let us explore.

Shake Shack, 2024

According to an August 28 report from FastCompany.com, the closing California locations are joining two company locations in Texas and one in Ohio as permanently shuttering.

As excerpted from the report: This decision follows a recent evaluation that identified these locations as underperforming, partly due to shifts in local trade areas and customer overlap from nearby locations. The underperforming restaurants—or “Shacks” as the company calls them—are not expected to be profitable in the near future.

There has of yet been no specified dates of closure for any of the shuttering locations.
