Retail Roundup: Shake Shack among new stores coming to Broward shopping village

The burger wars keep raging in South Florida.
Squeezing into space crowded by Five Guys, BRGR Stop, BurgerFi, Culver's, Char-Hut, Jack's Old Fashion, Sonic, mainstays McDonald's, Checkers, Wendy's, Burger King, and others, up-and-comer Shake Shack plans to bring its nostalgic take on burgers, fries and milkshakes to its 13th South Florida location during the second quarter of 2026.
Kimco Realty, owners of Dania Pointe, announced that the rapidly growing burger chain would be among four new retailers scheduled to open in the 102-acre shopping village west of Interstate 95 and just south of Stirling Road.

Of the 12 Shake Shack locations that have opened in the tricounty region since 2010, six are in Miami-Dade County while Broward and Palm Beach counties are home to three each.
The chain, on a march to quadruple its unit count, ended the first quarter of 2025 with 589 restaurants, according to the industry website restaurantbusinessonline.com. Aiming to reach 1,500 locations, the company recently announced deals to open 10 restaurants across the United States and Canada and 12 units in Panama.
Founded by restaurateur Danny Meyer and his Union Square Hospitality Group, the first Shake Shack outside of New York City opened on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach back in 2010.
Food writers were excited about its debut. The Miami Herald proclaimed that 'NYC's famed hot spot' was 'ready to rock our worlds.' It warned patrons to bring a magazine to pass time waiting in long lines to get in. 'That is if you can concentrate on reading with all those overwhelming aromas,' the paper said.
The new arrival was mentioned in more than a dozen Herald stories that summer along with a three-and-a-half star review that ran weekly in its Dining section.
Miami-Dade's second Shake Shack opened in Coral Gables in 2012. By then, the company had expanded to 16 locations.
The following year, a third South Florida Shake Shack opened across from Florida Atlantic University on Glades Road in Boca Raton.
Reviewing the restaurant for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the late John Tanasychuk compared the 'flawless restaurant experience' to visiting drive-in restaurants with his grandmother and siblings during his youth.
Tanasychuk praised the efficiency of the workers, the ratio of bun to burger, and even the toppings that 'compliment instead of overwhelm each bite.'
When Broward County's first Shake Shack arrived in December 2019 on Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale, the chain boasted 140 restaurants in the United States, as well as in numerous other countries.
Today, the chain offers all-natural Angus beef burgers prepared in a variety of ways, including an Avocado Bacon Burger, a Carolina BBQ Burger, and burgers that include a fried portobello mushroom. Patrons can choose fried chicken sandwiches, white-meat chicken 'bites,' Vienna beef hot dogs, and crinkle-cut fries topped with ranch dressing, cheddar and American cheese, and bacon.
New on Shake Shack menus this year are side orders of crispy fried dill pickles — touted as the first new side order offered by the company.
To top off your meal, there are plenty of choices of shakes, floats, and freshly made frozen custards.

Darden Restaurants lifts sales forecast, beats quarterly estimates on casual dining demand

(Reuters) -Darden Restaurants forecast annual same-store sales above estimates after strong quarterly results on Friday, banking on demand driven by food delivery and advertising efforts at its casual dining chains such as Olive Garden. Shares of the company rose about 3% in premarket trading after the company also announced a new $1 billion share repurchase program. Casual dining and fast casual restaurant chains, including Olive Garden and Shake Shack, have benefited from menu innovations and promotions to entice customers, offsetting the impact of consumers turning to home-cooked meals to save money. Meanwhile, fast food chains including burger giant McDonald's, Starbucks and Domino's Pizza have been struggling with tepid demand. Darden expects annual same-store sales to grow in the range of 2% to 3.5%, midpoint of which is above analysts' estimates of 2.64%, as per data compiled by LSEG. Initiatives such as home deliveries with the help of Uber Direct and "buy one, take one" offerings at Olive Garden have further helped the restaurant chain operator. Its consolidated same-store sales were up 4.6% in the quarter compared to a year ago, with Olive Garden sales rising 6.9%. The company posted fourth-quarter sales of $3.27 billion, edging past estimates of $3.26 billion. It logged adjusted profit of $2.98 per share for the quarter ended May 25, above estimates of $2.97 per share, owing to moderate price hikes and lower input costs. However, the company forecast annual earnings per share between $10.50 and $10.70, compared with estimates of $10.75 per share.
