Shake Shack to Open Westlake Village Location in Late 2018

/

Shake Shack has confirmed that it will be opening a Westlake Village location in late 2018. It will be located at The Promenade at Westlake, I believe in the space soon to be vacated by Public School 805.

Shake Shack, a publicly traded company (Symbol: SHAK) with a $2.5 billion market cap, started out as a hot dog cart inside Madison Square Garden in 2001 and today operates in over 160 locations. www.shakeshack.com.

If you're looking to try a Shake Shack before the Westlake location opens, there are locations at LAX, Glendale, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Century City, Downtown LA and El Segundo.

Public School 805 at The Promenade at Westlake to Close Its Doors on June 17, 2018

As the flyer above indicates, "School is Out" at Public School 805 Restaurant and Bar at close of business on Father's Day 2018 - June 17th. 

Coincidentally (or maybe not), Public School 805 opened its doors exactly five years ago to the day, on June 17, 2013.

Sorry to see PS 805 go but its sister eatery next door, The Grill on the Alley, remains open.

In other news, Shake Shack is hiring for managers for Shake Shack Thousand Oaks and the address given in the craigslist ad is 120 Promenade Way. One could possibly surmise that the soon to be former Public School 805 will become a Shake Shack in the near future but official confirmation of this possibility has not been received as of yet. We shall see...

Adam McArthur tipped us off that the Westlake Village Baja Fresh, located at 30861 E. Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Westlake Village (at Lindero Canyon), re-opened its doors today, Saturday, June 2, 2018.

Indeed it was open today, confirmed by a brief visit. The place looks great! Completely renovated - new floors, walls, counters, seating, etc. How exciting!

This 2nd Baja Fresh location (the first location was on Kimber Drive in Newbury Park) had closed its doors on June 29, 2017, nearly a year ago.

The Baja Fresh website at www.bajafresh.com still does not list this location as of Saturday night. 

Welcome back, Westlake Village Baja Fresh!
