History of Chipotle Mexican Grill

Chipotle was created by Steve Ells, student at the Cullinary Institute of America in Hyde Park (Brooklyn). After becoming chef at a restaurant in San Francisco, he realized that the tacos and burritos were well liked by people. In 1993 he opened the first Chipotle in Denver (Colorado).

To be a profitable restaurant, he calculated it with his father they had to sell about 197 burritos a day. But a month after opening Chipotle, they were selling over 1000 per day!

In 1995, with profits from the 1st restaurant and with the help of his father, he opened a 2nd and a 3rd restaurant. It is very successful and in 1999 he opened a new Chipotle outside Colorado.

Steve Ells at first wanted to open a fast food restaurant and then open a gourmet restaurant. But with all the success he had decided to develop his concept of Chipotle only.

In 2000 Mc Donald’s invested in Chipotle to become the main investor, until 2006.

Chipotle Mexican Grill continues behind Taco Bell USA, another Mexican fast food restaurant, that knows some success.
