Shake Shack vandalized week before opening in downtown Portland

Just a week before its grand opening, the Shake Shack location in downtown Portland was vandalized, the Portland Police Bureau confirmed to KOIN 6.

Earlier this week, officers responded to the location at 1016 Burnside Street where a window was smashed. It doesn’t appear the vandal was hungry for a burger as PPB says there’s no evidence anyone entered the business.

“The safety of our team members and guests are top priority for us. While we’re saddened to see the vandalization of our Shack pre-opening, we are looking forward to opening and bringing our hospitality and dedicated guest experience to the community here in Portland,” a spokeseperson for Shake Shack told KOIN 6.

Photos of the scene show plywood boarding up the lower half of a glass window.

Shake Shack previously told KOIN 6 it was planning to open the downtown location on April 24.

Why anyone would open any business in downtown Portland is beyond me.

I wondered why in the world Shake Shack would build a restaurant in Portland, but then it occurred to me that they must be trying to improve their ESG rating.

I wonder if they'll rethink their Wokeness now.

Shake Shack culinary director Mark Rosati hinted that the Portland location will have some exclusive menu items up its sleeve, but those have yet to be revealed. “Coming into a city like this with an incredible culinary scene, we’re like kids in a candy store,” Rosati says. “If we can do something fun that reflects back our love for Portland on the menu, we’re going to try to.”

Looks like Portland has reflected its own form of fun.

The exec is dreaming of a Portland that used to exist.

If they did, it was probably a couple of frustrated McDonald's workers who wanted to take it back to their store...
