Shake Shack to Close Nine Locations Across Three States

The closures follow a review of underperforming units, with six locations in California affected.

Shake Shack will close six locations in California, two in Texas, and one in Ohio by September 25.
The decision was made after evaluating the profitability of company-operated units.
California's recent $20 minimum wage increase has impacted the restaurant industry, leading to layoffs and closures.
Shake Shack plans to open 40 new company-owned and 40 licensed locations this year.
Employees from the closing locations will be offered positions at other Shake Shack locations or 60 days of pay.
