When Shake Shack first announced on their Instagram last year that they were opening in the Philippines in 2019, they received their highest engagement ever, with over 16,000 likes! Fast forward a year later— and Shake Shack Manila is finally here!
Shake Shack officially opens its doors on May 10, 2019 at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street on 5th Avenue (formerly the Michael Kors boutique)– at 11 AM. Specialty Food Retailers, Inc. (SFRI), a member of the Store Specialists Inc. (SSI) Group, is the exclusive franchise holder in the Philippines. In line with Shake Shack’s mission to Stand for Something Good, “our burgers and hot dogs use 100% all-natural beef, free of hormones and antibiotics; non-GMO potato buns; and custard is made from real sugar– no corn syrup– and milk from dairy farmers who pledge not to use artificial growth hormones,” shared Anton Huang, SSI Group President.
The question on everyone’s minds leading up to the opening has been— HOW MUCH ARE THE BURGERS?! Well, you’ll get that in a second, as well as the low-down on the Manila-exclusive desserts and beverages– which are in partnership with some of our favorite local brands– Wildflour, Bucky’s, Auro, Engkanto, Monkey Eagle Brewery and San Miguel! And yes, the burgers are as good as in the US!

“As we spent time exploring the unique and eclectic landscape that is Filipino cuisine, we were inspired by the flavors and artisans we met along the way and by the food that they’re passionate about,” said Shake Shack culinary director Mark Rosati, who flew in to the Philippines for the media launch and shared with us Shake Shack’s beginnings and evolution. “From halo-halo, lechon, adobo and garlic rice to calamansi and ube in every imaginable form, Manila is serious about its love for great food and ingredients! We’re thrilled to introduce our Manila-exclusive menu that features just a few of the flavors and ingredients we fell in love with, and are humbled to become part of this vibrant community.”
The very first Shake Shack in the Philippines opens on May 10, 2019 (Friday) at 11AM at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) along Fifth Avenue.
