What is to be Portland’s first Shake Shack was hit by vandals before it even opened.
According to KGW8, someone broke a window in the brand-new restaurant but did not appear to get inside.
The new location on West Burnside across from Powell’s Books is scheduled to open next Monday. According to police, the vandalism happened earlier this week.
Crime is so rampant in the city that on Monday REI announced it was closing its only Portland location after almost two decades in the Rose City after the store “had its highest number of break-ins and thefts in two decades, despite actions to provide extra security.”
