Pinellas County will soon get its first Shake Shack.
The popular burger chain plans to open at 1165 Park Boulevard in Seminole City Center, a 37-acre, open-air retail and restaurant plaza in Seminole.
The restaurant will take over the former Pieology Pizzeria space, according to a recently issued building permit for a partial demolition and interior buildout.
Pieology closed in June 2025, after eight years in business. Its parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy that December.
Shake Shack currently has more than 690 locations worldwide, including more than 445 in the U.S. and more than 245 internationally, according to its June 2026 company update.
Shake Shack’s existing Tampa Bay area locations include International Plaza and Midtown Tampa, as well as a Wesley Chapel restaurant that opened in 2024 with the area’s first Shake Shack drive-thru.
