Uber Eats and Shake Shack Canada Worked with William Nylander
Earlier this year, Uber Eats and Shake Shack Canada teamed up with Toronto Maple Leafs star forward William Nylander to launch a limited-time exclusive menu collaboration called 'Willy's Shakeaway Menu.' This offering was only available on the Uber Eats platform in Toronto from December 15, 2025, to January 29, 2026.
The partnership was shaped by William Nylander's distinct 'Willy Styles' persona. This brought his personal flair to a curated selection of Shake Shack menu items, including the Cherry Pepper Powerplay Burger, featuring Canadian angus beef with spicy cherry peppers, and the Double Cookie Crunch Shake, a house-made vanilla frozen custard blended with crushed cookies.
The collaboration with the popular Maple Leafs player also marked Shake Shack Canada's recent expansion onto Uber Eats in Toronto.
