A grand

with CI’s CEO Donata Russell Ross, Randy Hazelton CEO of H&H Hospitality,
and city of Atlanta and airport officials. Travelers will be able to enjoy
delicious Shake Shack samples, live music, and giveaways.

Shake Shack brand is world famous and a great addition to serve the global
travelers coming through Hartsfield-Jackson,” says Donata Russell Ross,
CI’s Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to working with the entire
Shake Shack team as we open this new location in Atlanta.”
