After 10 months of waiting, Shake Shack Philippines finally opened at Central Square BGC yesterday, May 10, to a hungry crowd.
The line started as early as 10:30 p.m. the previous night and snaked all the way around the mall (which opened at 11 a.m.). The first 100 people in the crowd received Shake Shack sunglasses and a bottle of Shack20 as Rhada Cuadrado and Jett Pangan treated the audience to a Shakeoke mini-concert before the Shack Bite—the franchise's version of a ribbon-cutting.
According to an article by Town and Country, 556 people were in line by 1:13 p.m. Clamor for the burgers grew, however, and Shake Shack lost count of how many customers they served after 1,300.
By end of day, at 11 p.m., Shake Shack sold 2,300 burgers.
Shake Shack Philippines is the chain's 14th international location and interestingly the third cheapest, based on the prices of its signature ShackBurger.
