Shake Shack Newest Concession Partner at Enterprise Center

Shake Shack Newest Concession Partner at Enterprise Center

Founded by St. Louis native Danny Meyer, Shake Shack will begin operation March 30

The St. Louis Blues announced Tuesday that Shake Shack will be the newest addition to their concession stand offerings at Enterprise Center. Shake Shack, founded by St. Louis native Danny Meyer, features classic American roadside fare, made with premium ingredients and was inspired by Meyer’s St. Louis roots. The Shake Shack stand will begin operation on Wednesday, March 30 for the Elton John concert.

“Over the last several years, we have made it a priority to provide a more diverse array of quality food offerings for our fans,” said Chris Zimmerman, President and CEO of Business Operations of the St. Louis Blues and Enterprise Center. “The addition of the ever-popular Shake Shack further enhances this progress and joins a stellar line-up of local restaurant partners and other fan favorites.”

 “For someone who grew up in St. Louis, taking in a Blues home game nearly every Saturday night even before I could drive, it’s a real thrill to bring Shake Shack to the Enterprise Center,” said Danny Meyer, Shake Shack founder and CEO Union Square Hospitality Group. “We’ve been dreaming about this opportunity since first bringing Shake Shack to St. Louis, and it’s an honor to serve our burgers, shakes and fries alongside so many other outstanding food options at Blues games and concerts.”

Enterprise Center becomes the third NHL arena in the country with a Shake Shack stand and the first Shake Shack stand to feature artwork by a local artist. St. Louis artist Adam Bertels was commissioned to create a mural that captures the energy that Enterprise Center delivers through sports and entertainment. Several St. Louis icons are also showcased throughout the mural, including Meyer. 

Shake Shack joins an already impressive line-up of food partners at Enterprise Center, including local favorites Chicken Out, Farmtruk, Hi-Pointe Drive-In, Mission Taco Joint and Sugarfire. Shake Shack will be located on the plaza level at Portal 3.

In addition to the individual grants, KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS was able to hire various professionals in the entertainment industry in St. Louis who had been laid-off due to the pandemic in the production of the KEEP LIVE ALIVE video presentation. Those hired in different positions included camera persons, sound and lighting professionals, grips among others. 

The campaign launched on March 12, 2021, with a 90-minute video special featuring many local radio personalities from KSHE 95, 92.3 WIL, 105.7 The Point and 106.5 The Arch, along with several local and national recording artists and entertainers including The Red Rocker Sammy Hagar, Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon, Paula Poundstone, Lindsay Ell, Greg Warren, Lady J, Pat Liston and Danny Liston from Mama’s Pride, Roland Johnson, Brad Noe and Alexandra Kay. 

The campaign was supported by some of the top performance venues in the St. Louis area including The Fabulous Fox Theatre, Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, The Pageant, The MUNY, Enterprise Center, Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts, The Sheldon, and The Family Arena. 

St. Louis Classic Rock Preservation Society is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and the Executive Producer of KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS. Its mission is to preserve, promote and honor St. Louis’ unique classic rock heritage and its place in music and pop culture history.

Entertainment Special ‘Keep Live Alive Saint Louis’ March 12 to Raise Funds for Displaced Workers

Keep Live Alive Saint Louis is a free 90-minute entertainment video special produced in St. Louis for the people who miss being able to attend concert events due to the pandemic.

More importantly, Keep Live Alive Saint Louis is about all the people behind the scenes who bring you concerts everyday – ushers, ticket takers, bartenders, wait staff, sound & lighting technicians, stagehands, backstage crews, the list goes on and on.

KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS, the streaming video, will premiere the weekend of Friday, March 12 on both YouTube and Facebook Live. Links to the special will be on the participating Hubbard radio station websites and at KeepLiveAliveSTL.org. You can stream it any time on demand after the event.

Media partner of the project is Hubbard Broadcasting (KSHE-95, 106.5 The Arch, 92.3 WIL, and 105.7 The Point). Not only have Hubbard’s four music stations committed promotional support, but their key on-air personalities will co-host the video special.

By making a donation, you will be helping some of those people most affected by being laid off, waiting and wanting to come back to work producing your favorite concerts and live entertainment events.

When the pandemic hit, the live entertainment business was the first to close down and will be one of the last to reopen. Key venues in the St. Louis region went dark overnight, including The Fabulous Fox Theatre, The MUNY, The Pageant, Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, Enterprise Center, The Sheldon Concert Hall — the list goes on and on, all the way to the countless small local clubs and theaters.

“I’ve never witnessed such enthusiasm and dedication from so many talented people to deliver a great show for St. Louis. Their
passion is what will make this 90-minute video special a very memorable event for all of us,” said Ron Stevens, Co-Executive Producer and Director of the special.

Helming the videographer duties is Co-Executive Producer Jack Twesten, who teamed up with Ron Stevens to produce the highly successful documentary, “Never Say Goodbye: The KSHE Documentary.”



“One of the nice things about having Weber Chevrolet as an underwriter of the special is that we have been able to hire a lot of the people that have been most affected by layoffs for our location and studio filming,” Twesten said.

Co-Executive Producer Greg Hagglund, who has spent the last 35 years producing and promoting live events across the globe, said he has enjoyed working on the project.

“Knowing a lot of the people personally that have been affected by the pandemic has left a marked impression on me. It’s a reminder of how many people work behind the scenes to produce a successful live concert or special event,” he said.
