Brand History

Chipotle Mexican Grill company was created by Steve Ellis, a classically trained chef, in 1993. He started with the opening of 16 locations, all of them based in Colorado. Ellis had in mind the idea of creating a fast-food chain that focused on high-quality ingredients which are produced and grown locally, with a great accent on agriculture and responsible farming.

In 1998 McDonald’s Corporation invested in Chipotle Mexican Grill and in 2001 became its biggest investor. With the help of such an investor, Chipotle Mexican Grill developed quickly and in 1998 the first restaurant outside of Colorado was opened in Kansas City, Missouri.

In 2006, when McDonald’s chose to leave the Chipotle Mexican Grill company, it already had more than 500 restaurants in different areas around the world.
