Stand For Something Good
When Shake Shack started as a hot dog cart in New York City’s Madison Square Park, our mission was simple: raise funds for a public art project.
As we grew into a global business, our mission to Stand For Something Good expanded to include taking care of our team, sourcing premium ingredients from partners with the same dedication to quality, designing our Shacks responsibly, supporting our communities through donations, events, and volunteering—and much more.
Doing good is in our roots, a part of our DNA since day one. 20 years later, we’re still continuing to expand and evolve our mission to Stand For Something Good in everything we do.
We Enrich Our Neighborhoods
Every Shack is a reflection of the community it’s a part of, from partnering with local artists and ingredient purveyors to hosting fundraisers with local non-profit partners and school groups.
We strive to be the best employers and citizens of each neighbourhood we call home. Every Shack donates 5% of sales of a specific concrete to a local charity partner, and we encourage our teams to get involved in causes they feel passionate about in their communities.
People-First Culture
At Shake Shack, our people are the core of who we are and what we stand for. Our team members are at the forefront of our decisions, all the while encouraging hope, optimism, affirmation, and ongoing learning.
