gene Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 i am actually shocked just a little bit about Shake Shack because with the awesome The Burger Joint being almost adjacent, TBJ definitely fits in with the Montrose area/mold a little better and it IS awesome! BUT not shocked if Sweetgreen is next because you are right, 99 percent of the time that lot is empty...no matter the time of day it seems. Hoping something cool goes into the SS location...as it is a prime spot in my opinion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Kind of a shocker. It might be a little too close to the River Oaks location, but I can definitely see Rice Box returning to Montrose in this space. The bones of the structure could easily be rice box-ified with their Cyberpunk theming. Can't I relive my 20s of drinking at Poison Girl and scarfing down some Rice Box? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.33 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Ricebox would be a cool fit. Seems like Cava could be a good fit too. Would also be happy with Mendocino Farms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I think the Montrose location would have done better if it had a drive thru. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.Res Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Not surprised about the Montrose location. Trying to figure out why they would close the Galleraia location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 The giant vacant lots where the half-price books and kroger used to be might have something to do with suppressing sales at a foot traffic oriented burger place 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cava would be a fantastic addition! Tired of driving to the one on Washington and the the Med Center location has no parking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Shake Shack Closing Restaurants (Nation's Restaurant News): Shake Shack is closing nine underperforming locations in Texas, California and Ohio. The company estimates between $12.8M and $13.6M in lease termination costs and future lease obligations. The closures aren't set to impact the company's expansion plans. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much cannibalization for Rice Box with Shepherd location just up the road. Sweetgreen's Montrose location used to rock before the pandemic but the corporate leadership of SG never cared to make the location very desirable to dine-in again. The extra space from the failed Steel City Pops collab also hurts that location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 and just like that, a day after my post there is absolutely no sign that this was ever a Shake Shake...all signage and interior wiped clean 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
