Shake Shack will open it's first location outside of New York City this spring/summer of 2010 in Miami at 1111 Lincoln Road, part of "Miami Beach's premier pedestrian promenade."
@usurp: Their press release says "Shake Shack’s move to Miami marks the first time USHG will open a business outside of New York City"...maybe someone forgot about Kuwait?
While the prospect of Shake Shack expanding into global coverage excites me, I'm also somewhat concerned about their ability to scale up their offerings while maintaining the quality that makes the shack so freakin' awesome. For example, who will be the beef purveyor in Kuwait and how will the taste stack up to La Frieda? My greatest fear is that in all this expansionism the quality and integrity of the product at the original shack will somehow be compromised as well...
I have not had the pleasure of eating at the NYC location, however I live in SO FL and have friends who live a block from Lincoln Road, so darn straight I will be going there as soon as they have had a few weeks to 'shake' out the bugs--sorry, it is late on a Friday at work and my Charm City burger fix in Deerfield Beach is only a couple of hours away.
I obviously won't be able to do a compare, but after living here for over 30 years I have noticed that one or two people from NYC seem to get down here every now and then, so we will probably be advised as to their ability to transfer the goods, so to speak. All I need is some advice from the experienced as to what to order and how, and I will be there! I can hardly wait.
Well although I wouldn't be counted as a reliable source here a friend of mine who is close to Alshaya family confirmed to me they were coming to Kuwait. He was actually upset because he had tried bringing them to Kuwait before and they said they weren't interested.
Alshaya have brought other US only brands to Kuwait like P. F. Chang, Pinkberry, Office Depot, Pottery Barn etc.. so its not hard to believe. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
We also have Napket but thats a British only brand.

@usurp: I asked a Shake Shack PR rep for more info and they couldn't confirm the Kuwait location yet.
