An already busy part of Winter Park is even busier now that a Shake Shack restaurant opened up its first central Florida location Wednesday near Orlando Avenue.
The popular burger joint has more than 50 locations around the world with four in Florida. Now it's in the same plaza as Trader Joe's.
The employees of Shake Shack had an excited welcome for their first customers as they opened the doors to a large crowd.
"We wanted to be among the first to try it," a hungry mother said in line. "So we skipped breakfast and thought we'd get here first."
Fans of the restaurant in other cities, such as Miami and New York were on hand to be some of the first in line. News 96.5 spoke to the location's very first customer who is a big fan of Shake Shack.
"It starts with the sauce. I think the Shack Burger is one of the best in the nation," said Jung Lee. "Their shakes are also incredible."
The CEO said the company is happy with the city of Winter Park and the scenic location right on Lake Killarney.
