Chipotle is an American fast-casual restaurant chain that specializes in Mexican-inspired cuisine. The company was founded in 1993 by Steve Ells and is based in Newport Beach, California. Chipotle is known for its emphasis on using high-quality, sustainably sourced ingredients and its commitment to offering customizable meals.
The menu at Chipotle primarily consists of burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, and salads. Customers can choose from a variety of proteins, including grilled chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, sofritas (a tofu-based option), and sometimes seasonal options. They can then add rice, beans, various salsas, guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and other toppings to create their desired meal.
Chipotle has gained popularity for its “Food with Integrity” philosophy, which focuses on sourcing organic and locally grown ingredients when possible and using meat from animals raised without antibiotics or added hormones. The chain is also committed to supporting farmers and promoting sustainable farming practices.
In addition to its commitment to sustainable sourcing, Chipotle is known for its open kitchen format, where customers can see their food being prepared and choose the ingredients they want. The company has also been an early adopter of digital ordering and delivery options, allowing customers to order their meals through the Chipotle app or website.
Chipotle has expanded rapidly and has thousands of locations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, and France, among other countries. It has become a popular choice for those seeking a quick and customizable dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Chipotle statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
