Shake Shack will inhabit an all-glass “jewel box” space on the edge of Heartwood Park, the district’s 7,000sq ft greenspace.
Oklahoma City native Ryan McNeill left his hometown for California to learn all he could about mixed-use centres. He returned with a plan to construct a centre that would wow his fellow citizens with exciting retail firsts.
Just six months after cutting the ribbon on his 20-acre mixed-use centre in Oklahoma City, he’s scored his first “first”. Shake Shack will make its Sooner State debut at McNeill’s Oak project off I-44, just north of downtown.
“From the very beginning, we asked the community for feedback on the types of retailers and restaurants they want to see at Oak,” said McNeill, the founder of locally based Veritas Development. “Whether it was on social media or IRL, we have heard their requests for Shake Shack and are so proud that its first location in Oklahoma will be right here at Oak.”
Veritas also recently announced that Bluemercury will open at Oak this fall, next to Williams Sonoma. RH will open in June, becoming the first design gallery in the region. Spanning 42,000sq ft, RH at OAK will feature a rooftop restaurant, garden, wine bar and in-house interior design firm.
