The Story: Safeguarding a Popular Restaurant from Flood Risks

For a restaurant like Shake Shack, staying open during extreme weather is essential for both business and the community. With locations in flood-prone areas of Florida, unprotected entry points left the restaurant vulnerable to water damage, threatening operations, inventory, and customer safety.

Recognizing the need for a fast and effective flood defense, Shake Shack partnered with AquaFence to implement an integrated flood protection system—allowing them to protect their restaurant without disrupting daily operations.

The Challenge: Ensuring Business Continuity in a Flood Zone

Operating in a high-risk flood area, Shake Shack needed:

A quick-to-deploy flood protection system to keep the restaurant operational.
A discreet solution that wouldn’t interfere with the restaurant’s modern aesthetic.
A reliable barrier system to protect doors and entryways without impacting accessibility.

The Solution: V1200 (4’) FloodWalls for Seamless Protection

AquaFence delivered a customized flood mitigation plan, tailored to Shake Shack’s layout and operational needs:

V1200 (4’) FloodWalls for entry point protection, offering a secure and effective flood barrier.
Integrated design, ensuring the system blends seamlessly with the restaurant’s structure.
Fast installation and removal, allowing the Shake Shack team to deploy it as needed without disrupting business hours.

The Results: Reliable Protection, Zero Business Disruption

By implementing AquaFence’s V1200 FloodWalls, Shake Shack now benefits from:

Full protection against flooding without altering the restaurant’s appearance.
Rapid deployment, ensuring the system can be put in place at the first sign of severe weather.
Minimal downtime, allowing Shake Shack to keep serving customers—even in storm-prone conditions.
Long-term resilience, reducing potential flood damage costs and ensuring operational continuity.
