PARSIPPANY, NJ - Exciting news for Parsippany burger and shake lovers! Shake Shack, a popular burger and milkshake chain, is putting down roots in Morris County, opening its first area location in Parsippany later this year.

Ripco Real Estate confirmed that the fast-food restaurant is moving in to the new Waterview Marketplace on Route 46 in Parsippany by the end of this year. That plaza is currently under construction, and will house the new Whole Foods as well.

Shake Shack has other locations in New Jersey (including Paramus, Livingston, and Bridgewater), but this will be the first in Morris County. It's known for its long lines in Manhattan, including in a location just outside of Times Square.

Shake Shack serves burgers, hot dogs, french fries and milkshakes. They also offer a portobello mushroom burger and a chicken sandwich.
