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.

The windows will continue to be broken out b/c downtown Portland is lawless.
How soon before Shake Shack joins REI:
“Portland’s only REI store to close, citing crime and theft”
And Walmart:
“Walmart Set to Close All Stores in Portland amid Record-Breaking Retail Theft”
i wonder if it’ll permanently close before it’s even opens for business?
That’s very sad. I wonder why so many knuckleheads gravitated to Portland. Sadly, the hard-working good citizens will have to seriously consider moving.
Not even the Crap Shack wants to be in Portland that was really dumb
Not that it’s already pretty far gone, but we’ll REALLY know Portland is toast when Powers Books goes bye-bye...or up in flames.
Uh....that’s POWELLS Books....
so the management of shake shack is stupid then.
SOMEONE is using WAAAAAY too many drugs to arrive at that decision.
Yikes. Kids in a candy store? Do you live in the real world, Mark?
I loved Powell’s. Gads but I spent money in that multistory “library” and I actually cried when I read it was destroyed by the by people who cared not a fig.
Shake Shack would be better off opening a franchise in Downtown Mogadishu!
Who decides these things? Is there ANYONE out there with a Business Degree of ANY kind these days? Yeesh!
Wrecked before the grand opening! Looks like Antifa to me.
Portland is worse than NYC. Shake Shack started in NYC and I have never heard of their restaurants being vandalized there. They must have 10-15 in NYC.
Portland was ruined by the TV comedy Portlandia. It showed how wonderful the city was and ruined it.
If you love your town or city, don’t let anyone do a TV show based on it.
Great times there before the vandals arrived.
