Shake Shack is not going to be the only shack at the Westfield Century City mall.

San Diego celebrity chef Richard Blais announced he has signed a lease at the location, where he will open the first Crack Shack outpost in Los Angeles, Eater reported.

Westfield Century City just opened a second slate of new shops last month, following the grand opening of a Macy’s and 30 stores in April. The property is still in the process of its $1 billion makeover, which is expected to be completed later this year.
