The eatery already has a branch in Corstorphine after it first opened on St John's Road back in 2023. It also has three other locations south of the border, which are all in Manchester - one in Withington, another in Wythenshawe and the third in Cheadle Hulme. And now fans are gearing up for its fourth location to open after noticing signs appearing on Milton Road West in Edinburgh city centre. Shakedown is set to move into the unit space, which was previously home to Sam's Fry, according to Edinburgh Live. The chippy served customers for over four decades before it was put on the market earlier this year. Back in January, it was revealed that the owners of the chip shop decided to hang up their aprons and had put the venue up for sale. However, the unit still had 11 years left on its lease, and at the time, the guide price for the leasehold was £130,000. And it appears that it was snapped up by Shakedown as part of their new expansion plans. Photos from the street show that work is currently underway in the venue to transform it into the burger joint. Burger King Unveils Major Upgrades to 400 Locations in 2025 A new shopfront and a space for new signage have been fitted, and painters have already begun to change the exterior colour. The paint job is around halfway complete, and signs advertising the new Shakedown location have appeared in the windows. Old signage for Sam's Fry is also in the process of being removed. It is currently unclear when the new Shakedown branch will open, as no date has been announced yet. The food joint is popular for its delicious range of burgers as well as its mouthwatering sides and drinks. But it also serves incredible desserts for everyone who has a sweet tooth. Describing their burgers on their website, bosses at Shakedown said: "We've been told our burgers are the best in Manchester. "They come in all shapes and sizes. Beef or chicken, the choice is yours. Our signature Beefed Up! tops the bill (two patties, if you think you're hard and hungry enough). Just add fries. "Room for more? Try our sides – everything from cheesy, fiery Not'cho Nachos and supremely melty Mozzarella Sticks. "Seal the deal with one of our notoriously sweet shakes and waffles!"
