St. Louis, MO  (KTRS)  Shake Shake is coming to St. Louis.

St. Louis native and founder of the burger stand style restaurant , Danny Meyer has announced that Shake Shake will open in 2017 on the southeast corner of Euclid Avenue and West Pine Boulevard in the Central West End.  Meyer drew inspiration from his birthplace when he created Shake Shack and its original menu, which includes freshly-spun frozen custard, concretes and griddled flat-top dogs.

“I learned the meaning of hospitality while growing up in St. Louis, a lesson that has shaped my life and career,” said Shake Shack founder Danny Meyer. “When I jotted down the first Shake Shack menu, it was my favorite childhood food memories that most inspired me, and I’m thrilled that Shake Shack has at last found a home in my hometown.”

Since the original Shack opened in 2004 in NYC’s Madison Square Park, the company has opened multiple locations in 12 states and the District of Columbia, as well as international locations including in London, Istanbul, Dubai, Tokyo, Moscow and more.
