Shake Shack Opens at Centennial Yards in Downtown Atlanta on August 13

August 10, 2026 – Atlanta, GA – Shake Shack today announced the opening of its new Downtown Atlanta restaurant at Centennial Yards, a 3,010-square-foot location that expands the Entertainment District’s dining offerings. Opening August 13 at 10:00 a.m., the Centennial Yards Shack will bring Shake Shack’s cooked-to-order 100% Angus beef burgers, crispy chicken, hand-spun milkshakes, house-made lemonades and more to their newest location.

Located at 85 Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW Suite D500 Atlanta, GA 30303, the Centennial Yards Shack will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. on Sunday to Thursday and 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Guests can enjoy all the Shake Shack favorites — from the ShackBurger® and Crinkle Cut fries to hand-spun shakes and limited-time menu items throughout the year, including the recently launched West Coast Menu.

“The opening of Shake Shack is an exciting milestone for Centennial Yards and for Downtown Atlanta,” said Brian McGowan, President of Centennial Yards Company. “We’re proud to bring their nationally recognized brand and iconic food to the neighborhood, creating a new destination for residents, workers, and visitors to gather and connect.”

On opening day, the first wave of guests can expect to receive custom Shake Shack swag, including branded tote bags. As a part of their mission to Stand for Something Good®, Shake Shack will donate $1 for every sandwich sold at the Centennial Yards Shack on August 13 to Camp Twin Lakes, supporting their work to provide adaptive and deeply impactful camp experiences to children and families living with life challenges. Since opening its Buckhead location in 2014, Shake Shack has proudly supported Camp Twin Lakes through ongoing programming and participation in their annual Spin For Kids fundraiser.

Shake Shack’s arrival further enhances the vibrant mix of experiences taking shape at Centennial Yards’ Entertainment District, which is rapidly emerging as Downtown Atlanta’s premier destination for dining, entertainment and hospitality, with recently opened attractions including Cosm and The Irish Exit. Planned additions, including a 5,300-seat Live Nation venue, Virgin Hotels’ 261-key property, Chops Lobster Bar and Varuni Napoli, are expected to further expand the district’s offerings. Spanning 7.5 acres within the broader 50-acre Centennial Yards development, the Entertainment District is transforming the heart of Downtown Atlanta into a vibrant, walkable destination for residents and visitors alike. Centennial Yards Company was created by CIM Group to act as the owner and master developer of Centennial Yards.

The Centennial Yards Shack marks the Shake Shack’s tenth location in the Atlanta area – joining Shacks in The Battery, Buckhead, Perimeter Mall, Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Old 4th Ward, Alpharetta, Piedmont Park, Lenox Square, and West Midtown.
