Is a Shake Shack Opening in Fulton Center?

Shake Shack may be getting ready to unleash its cult burgers and concretes on commuters bustling through the new Fulton Center, at least according to a rumor reported by Tribeca Citizen. Following up on a tip, TC asked a couple security guards at the newly open mall-like complex, who said the restaurant would open "soon." Currently, the original Madison Square Park location is going through a gut renovation, but if the rumors turn out to be true, this would bring the tally of operational Shacks in NYC to 11. A FiDi outpost wouldn't exactly come as a surprise, especially considering the rapid growth of downtown's office lunch scene courtesy of Brookfield Place. Plus, Danny Meyer has certainly got the funds to back a new outpost after the company's recent IPO and investors are itching to see expansion efforts underway. Eater has reached out to Shake Shack, so stay tuned.
