Shake Shack to open two new Ontario stores with free burger giveaways

Shake Shack Canada has scheduled the openings of two new Ontario locations for late 2026 and early 2027. The chain will distribute free burgers to customers at both sites on their respective opening days.

The Oakville store at 275 Hays Blvd. is set to open on Nov. 18, 2026. The Burlington store at 4511 Dundas St. will follow on Dec. 4, 2026. Customers who visit during the hours of 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on those dates will receive a free ShackBurger.

Billy Richmond, business director at Shake Shack Canada, stated that the company looks forward to serving guests with what he described as exceptional quality and hospitality. He noted that community is central to the brand's operations and that the chain is eager to integrate into the Oakville and Burlington neighborhoods.

The ShackBurger is a menu item consisting of an Angus beef cheeseburger topped with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce, served on a toasted potato bun. Shake Shack Canada posted on social media that guests should bring friends to celebrate the new locations.

A third location is confirmed for 3275 Wonderland Rd. S. in London, Ontario. That site is scheduled to open in 2027 and will be the first Shake Shack in the province to include a drive-thru service.

The brand first entered the Canadian market in 2024 with a flagship location at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto. Since that initial opening, the chain has added eight other locations across the province.

Current Ontario locations include stores in Toronto at Union Station, King West, Yonge and Eglinton, and Yonge and Bloor. The chain also operates in North York at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Mississauga at Square One Shopping Centre, Vaughan at Vaughan Mills, and York at Kitchen Hub Castlefield.
