Steak 'n Shake is mostly east of the I35 corridor (eastern TX north to Omaha, NE, though there are some in CA, mostly in the Land of LA and San Bernardino--Riverside area. There is one location in San Jose, in the CSU San Jose campus.
Regardless of the sentiment behind this marketing move, it will be a (probably) inadvertent troll of America-hating Progs. It will be interesting to see what cities try to block this and in what cities local haters throw tantrums. I doubt there will be a flag at the San Jose location, as the S&S is in some sort of campus plaza with multiple fastfood stores.

Whether the move is genuine or just shows that Steak 'n Shake has an uncanny ability to read the room, the hamburger chain last night did something that is sure to win over more than a few American patriots. In a post on X, Steak 'n Shake revealed that it’s begun American flag installations at its branches.
Because local zoning ordinances vary from location to location, Steak 'n Shake said that the size of the flags and flag poles will be dictated by what is permissible in each location, but the policy itself is to erect the largest flags and tallest poles possible.
In response, X posters were universally supportive with a huge response, starting with none other than X owner Elon Musk, who replied to Steak 'n Shake’s post, “I’m ordering from there tomorrow!”
