I thought Mickey Dees’ owned Chipoltes’.
I think they sold it. We have one in Albuquerque, and it’s always jammed. I can’t imagine how it could survive with all the great New Mexican multi-generational hole in the wall restaurants here.
Googling shows that is a misconception.
MCD was once an investor in Chipotle but sold it all by 2006.
Here in LA Chipotle has opened an Asian version that is very popular. Meanwhile, I have never been to a Chipotle.
They did at one time, but not anymore...
