American burger chain Shake Shack has announced plans to enter the Brazilian market through a master franchise agreement with Bold Hospitality Company. The partnership aims to open at least 40 restaurants across Brazil over the next decade, with the first location scheduled to open in São Paulo during the first half of 2027.

Bold Hospitality Company, which operates brands such as Outback Steakhouse and Abbraccio, will manage the expansion. While the current contract targets 40 locations by 2036, there is potential for the brand to expand to hundreds of stores in the future. Shake Shack intends to compete in the premium burger segment by focusing on high-quality ingredients and signature items like the ShackBurger and frozen custard, utilizing local producers and suppliers to support its operations.
