While fans of Shake Shack await the opening of the hamburger chain’s first Chicago store later this year, it was announced Tuesday a second location near Millennium Park.

DNAInfo Chicago reports the second location will be on the first floor of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel at Michigan Avenue and Madison Street, which is currently being upgraded into a 241-room boutique hotel.

The company, owned by New York-based restaurateur Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, began hiring managers for its 66 E. Ohio location in April, a project that’s been in the works for years. Shake Shack is popular for its burgers, shakes (natch), and concretes and has expanded from New York City to Washington, DC, Miami, Philadelphia, and has expanded internationally with locations in London, Istanbul, Moscow and across the Middle East.
