A run-of-the-mill restaurant chain with no indication of notabilty. A lot of references have been provided but all fail the criteria for establishing notability. "News" stories based on company announcements and press interviews rarely meet the criteria and only do so if the articles provide independent analysis and opinion, thereby showing that the article isn't a PRIMARY source. None of the references mentioned provide intellectually independent reporting and provide quotations verbatim. All it shows is that the CEO and an investor like to work the media, providing interviews and quotations about everything the company is doing or hopes to do - effective marketing, not a sign of notability. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/22/shake-shacks-danny-meyer-taking-tender-greens-fast-food-idea-national.html This CNBC reference extensively relies on interviews with company personnel, connected people and investors and is therefore not intellectually independent and fails .
