Grand Prairie Shake Shack

The Grand Prairie Shake Shack, filed under the name Grand Prairie Shake Shack, is a new quick-service restaurant located at 1550 Mayfield Rd in Dallas County. The project involves the construction of a 4,083 sq ft facility with a drive-through, estimated at a cost of $1,500,000. This places the build at $367 per square foot, a figure that is above the county median of $125 per square foot for similar new construction filings.

Project Scope and Design

VRE Grand Prairie SS, LLC is the owner of record for this privately funded development on private land. Gensler serves as the design firm, a practice that has handled six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $77,535,000 in the region. The scope specifically covers the construction of a QSR with a drive-through, aligning with the brand’s standard operational model. Justin K Walton is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing.

The project was registered with TDLR in December 2022, with construction scheduled to begin in June 2023. The planned build window was 182 days, which is shorter than the county median of 243 days for new construction projects. The estimated cost of $1,500,000 is above the Dallas County median of $950,000 for comparable filings, reflecting the specific scope and design standards required for this location.

TDLR closed the project file in December 2023, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This closure indicates that the regulatory review phase is complete, though it does not independently confirm the operational status of the restaurant. The site is located in ZIP code 75052, an area with a population of about 95,485 and a median household income of $87,320 according to U.S. Census estimates.

This geographic detail is relevant for construction planning and risk assessment. The Dallas County unemployment rate was 3.3 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier, providing a broader economic context for the development activity in the area.
