BCG is the place to be! The Philippines’ first-ever Shake Shack is slated to open early next year in Bonifacio Global City. The Shack will be located at Central Square on the corner of C1 Park and 5th Avenue and will be the first in Southeast Asia.
Shake Shack, in partnership with the SSI Group, will work with local purveyors, producers, and artists to create a unique experience for the Filipino community, even before the restaurant opens.
Construction will kick off with two murals by local street artist Jappy Agoncillo who is known for his urban art around the Metro. The Shake Shack murals are inspired by the spirit and landscape of Metro Manila, and celebrate the unique community that Shake Shack will soon call home.
The first mural, found on the store facade along 5th Avenue “used real life monuments and buildings, each from some of the major cities that make up Metro Manila, as inspiration,” says Agoncillo. The second, displayed inside Central Square, is inspired by Manila’s distinct rooftop scenery. Neon in the daytime and glowing at night, the murals are the first pieces of Filipino art to join Shack’s Creative Community.
For even more fun while construction progresses, a larger-than-life installation featuring the iconic ShackBurger bag will appear in various locations around the BGC neighborhood. Spot it if you can and share the Shack love with #ShakeShackPH.
