When it became known through a number of media reports, and ads asking people to apply for jobs, that Shake Shack was looking into expanding into the Indy metro area, the rumor mill began to get lively.  Will Shake Shack end up in the now-under-construction Yard project in Fishers?

After all, the culinary area of The Yard and Shake Shack would appear, on the surface, to be a perfect match.  But don’t start longing for those burgers and shakes just yet.

Lori Wick, spokesperson for Thompson Thrift, developer of The Yard, tells Larry In Fishers, “…we do not have a signed lease with Shake Shack and cannot provide any additional information.”

Now, that does not preclude Shake Shack from entering into a contract agreement with Thompson Thrift to have a presence in The Yard at a future date, but as of this writing, there is no contract in place. Most developers will not comment on a tenant without a signed contract in hand.

So, no contract now, but let’s wait and see what the future brings.
