Shake Shack announced its first Westchester location at the Cross County Shopping Center in Yonkers.

UPDATE: Shack Shack in Yonkers to serve craft beer

What started as a small concession stand in Madison Square Park by renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer has grown into an international hit, with more than 70 locations worldwide — the majority of them split between New York and the Middle East.

Shake Shack will open in Yonkers in 2016 across from Zara, though the exact opening date has yet to be confirmed.

Shake Shack is known for its modern roadside fare, made with natural, hormone-free beef and a focus on food sustainability. The classic American cheeseburgers on GMO-free potato buns, crinkle-cut Yukon potato fries and smooth, creamy milkshakes keep fans lined up around the block.
