History Of Chipotle

Chipotle, food with integrity. Have you ever eaten at chipotle?  What is your favorite Chipotle order? Chipotle was founded in 1993 by Steve Ells based in Denver, Colorado. Steve Ells attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. After School he became a line cook at Stars in San Francisco, California. He took everything he learned and in 1993 he opened his first chipotle in Denver. He got a 85,000 dollar loan from his dad. When creating his business Steve and his dad calculated that they need to sell 107 burritos a day to be profitable. After the first month of opening they were selling 1,000 burritos a day. In 1995 the second Chiptole opened using chipotles cash flow. The third store was opened using a SBA loan. Steve created a board of directors and a business plan raising 1.8 million dollars.  In 1998 Mcdonalds made an investment in Chipotle. By 2001 Mcdonalds had been the biggest investor in the company. In 2006 Mcdonalds no longer invested in Chipotle as Mcdonalds wanted to focus on their own chain. In 2007 Chipotle bought back all their franchises and became 100% company owned. 2010 Chipotle hired chef Nate Appelman to create new dishes. In 2015 there was an E-coli breakout at various Chipotles. 24 cases were in Washington and 13 were in Oregon. By 2017 there were more than 2,400 restaurants. Also in November of 2017 Steve Ells stepped down. In 2018 he was replaced by Taco Bell CEO Brian Niccol.

  • I have eaten at Chipotle once in my life, a few years ago. I don't remember what I got and since I've only been there once, I don't have a favorite meal. I remember really enjoying my meal and overall thought Chipotle was a good resturant.

  • I have eaten at Chipotle, and I like it. My favorite thing to order is a burrito because they are really good. I like that you can tell the ingredients are fresh and how you can watch them make your food and see what goes into it.
