Shake Shack Looking For Managers For Its Upcoming Chicago Store

Last we checked on Shake Shack’s pending Chicago arrival, it was truly, really, cross one’s heart and hope to die happening.

The long march to a Chicago Shake Shack continues. The company, owned by New York-based restaurateur Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, is now hiring managers for its 66 E. Ohio location. That’s the current spot of a Harley-Davidson gift shop. Qualified candidates must have 1-3 years management experience and be “energetic, enthusiastic and have a passion for managing people and fostering a great sense of teamwork.” Excuses me for a moment while I polish my resume.

The job posting on Shake Shack’s website leads to the obvious question: when will Chicago’s Shake Shack open? A Shake Shack rep told Eater Chicago “it’s looking like we’ll open sometime this fall.” They’ll certainly have plenty of foot traffic between Mag Mile shoppers and people visiting the red-hot Eataly that a Shake Shack will have to be very ineptly run to fail in that location.
