Is it all hype or can this company compete with Mcdonalds in a serious way?

Great burgers but I wouldn't compare them to McD's. McD's has over 34,000 stores worldwide and rev over $28b. Shake Shack will never be a serious competitor to them.

They make a great product, different target market than MCD. MCD is in trouble right now w/ increased competition, geopolitical issues, and a general consumer attitude thats becoming more concerned with how their food is made and where it comes from.

SS uses high quality ingredients and the price point is just a bit higher than MCD. Definitely long SHAK but the fast casual is a crowded sector for sure (CMG comes to mind)
