We don’t drive much, so gas tax irrelevant. We don’t have air conditioners in house so electric prices are irrelevant. Food and alcohol is as cheap or cheaper than Colorado. House is 400 per square foot, Colorado is approaching that.

The article says the new CEO lives in Newport Beach. Looks like he is pissing away millions of stockholder dollars to move the company to him.

Many of the posters here are nasty people.

Chipotle runs a good business. Good, wholesome food at reasonable prices. Quality ingredients. Friendly employees. Clean restaurants. I've never had a bad experience there.

The begging of the death spiral were the numerous cases of e. Coli and salmonella. This move is just the last breath.

“_I also moved from Colorado to California recently”

Nice move Magellan.

[Bonemaker]

“Maybe the CEO has a beach house and a yacht in Newport Beach. That is the only reason that I can think of.

“
Probably his wife wants to move.

Never understood as to why people eat there in the first place. They have had bad reviews, e coli, , and it is to that good.

[manc]

same for me

They must have looked for the state with the highest taxes, almost the most expensive gas, long commute times, near an ocean, with high crime rates, and 10 million illegals.

will likely ruin the corporation if it so foolishly moves to the anti-business, super-high-tax, impossible living costs state of Californication. (average home price approaching $2,500,000 and even higher in some neighborhoods)...

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Yep....The CEO and family already live in Newport Beach.

[texas booster]

They will justify it by moving the NY office to CA, and the Denver operations out to Columbus.

That way it looks like a wash on expenses.

Except for those five floors of offices in downtown Denver.

>I also moved from Colorado to California recently. Cost of living is around 10-15% higher.

>However, where you work is where the boss wants to live.

I’d get another Boss before following one there. Or become my own Boss.

I worked with a company which closed the Houston office and warehouse and moved everything to Chicago. Then a new CEO came aboard and moved everything to Charleston, SC. Yes it was a sailboat! After about a year another CEO was hired and everything was moved back to Chicago. Then after about two years the company moved to Canada. Some employees actually moved from Houston to Chicago to Charleston back to Chicago and then to Canada over a five year period.

I did not read the story, I already guessed the reason. Seen it before.

[bonfire]

Ate there once and was not impressed. It’s right down the street but I’d rather skip food poisoning. Oh and it’s right next to Starbucks. No thanks.

[Mastador1]

What kind of idiot moves their headquarters here to California in this the height of anti business climate by the socialists in charge.............I guess the king of E. Coli outbreaks does.

I forgot all that food poisoning stuff.

[Grampa Dave]

Some Top honchos want to unload his their moving and relocation costs onto the shareholders.

“You are probably not far off. The CEO was the head of Taco Bell until he took the job with Chipolte earlier this year. Guess where Taco Bell HQ is located? Irvine, which is next to Newport Beach.”
