Chipotle Mexican Grill announced the opening of its 1,000th Chipotlane restaurant in the Kansas City metro area. The milestone restaurant features the company’s signature digital order drive thru pick-up lane. Of the company’s more than 3,600 restaurants in its real estate portfolio, nearly 30% feature a Chipotlane.
“Chipotlanes are a critical piece of our long-term growth goal of reaching 7,000 restaurants in North America,” said Chris Brandt, Chief Brand Officer. “This restaurant format is the fastest way for fans to get Chipotle and has proven to increase sales, margins, and returns.”
Chipotle first introduced the Chipotlane format in the U.S. in early 2018, giving guests and delivery drivers the ability to pick up their Chipotle orders without leaving their cars.
