Get ready for more milkshakes! Shake Shack will continue its expansion on Long Island, with five new locations.
The Manhattan-based international chain, known for its crinkle-cut fries, milkshakes and burgers has expanded quickly across the country and Long Island.
These are the new Shake Shacks scheduled to debut on the Island through 2026:
A drive-through site will open in Selden this year at 618 Middle Country Rd., spokesperson Kate DeMarco said in an email Tuesday.
In 2026, a Shake Shack will open in Commack on a 19.4-acre property on the southwest corner of Crooked Hill Road and Henry Street, Newsday previously reported.
Shake Shack will also open at Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream next year. The Shops at SunVet in Holbrook will get in on the action with a site in the second quarter of 2026.
Shake Shack will launch at Tanger Outlets in Riverhead next year, with the address still to be confirmed, DeMarco said.
Shake Shack made its debut on Long Island in 2012 with an outpost at The Gallery at Westbury Plaza in Garden City. It currently has five locations across the Island, in Lake Grove, Melville, New Hyde Park, Oceanside and Westbury.
