What to Know
- Shake Shack's first California drive-thru debuts Aug. 15
- 1875 W. 190th Street in Torrance
- A dollar from every sandwich sold on opening day will be donated to New Challenge Ministries, the large South Bay food bank; a food drive will take place, too
Much like sunshine and salt air, the quick lunch and the classic drive-thru restaurant is a quintessential California pairing, a duo that truly stands the tasty test of time.
And whether you prefer "drive-through" or "drive-thru," you've certainly encountered these lickety-split locations; call them convenient and classic staples of Southern California dining.
Shake Shack didn't begin in Southern California — it started in New York City in 2001 — but the company now has locations throughout the region. Hearty burgers, thick shakes, and crinkle-cut fries are some of the popular menu items for people seeking a quick meal on the go.

Now "on the go" is getting even on-the-go-ier, thanks to the company's first-ever Golden State drive-thru.
It's opening in Torrance Aug. 15 — it's California's 49th Shake Shack, by the by and the company's 36th drive-thru location nationally — and day #1 will be about giving back to the community.
