Burger chain Shake Shack to return $10 million government loan

@Captain_America @GlennGriffin8 This is a good reason to visit the Shake Shack that opened a couple of years ago in my city. I didn’t see what all the fuss was about at the time, because we’ve got tons of places for good shakes, burgers, fries, etc. I want to reward companies for doing the right thing.
