Mancunians, get ready — Shake Shack is coming to town! The new Shack at the Trafford Centre will open on Friday 27 March 2026 at 12:00 PM, and you’re all invited. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, with the first 100 in line receiving a free ShackBurger® or ‘Shroom Burger. To keep the good vibes rolling, Shake Shack will also have a custard cart serving complimentary mini scoops of chocolate frozen custard throughout the day, while supplies last.

Fans can enjoy all the Shack classics, from the ShackBurger® and Crinkle-Cut Fries to Flat-Top Dogs and hand-spun shakes. All the meat on the menu is halal-certified, including beef and chicken, halal-certified beef hot dogs, and, for the first time in the UK, halal bacon. Everything is prepared without alcohol in the kitchen.

Set within the grand, neoclassical backdrop of the Trafford Centre, Shake Shack Manchester embraces the city’s dual spirit — historic craftsmanship meets modern innovation. The Shack’s “Electric Frame” design concept uses stainless steel, neon pink, soft lighting, and a luminous canopy to create a contemporary counterpoint to marble and gold. With 134 indoor covers, it’s a bright, buzzing hub designed for Mancunians and visitors alike.

Matching the energy of the location and bringing a Mancunian flair, local illustrator Jessica Lee brings a cheerful, vibrant style inspired by everyday moments. For Shake Shack Trafford Centre, her illustrations celebrate the location and the brand — bold, friendly and full of character. Her work translates the joy of a Shack visit into playful visuals, combining local flavour with Shake Shack’s iconic optimism.
