Chipotle Mexican Grill
Chipotle Mexican Grill is the nation’s leading fast-casual Mexican restaurant chain, owning and operating corporate units in almost every major U.S. market.
The company is innovative in many respects, from its commitment to hormone-free and organic food, environmentally-friendly operation and energy-efficient design. Segall Group assists the company in site selection in the Baltimore Metropolitan area and Maryland Eastern Shore. To date, Segall Group personnel have completed site selection work on five new stores (Hagerstown, Towson, Timonium and Severna Park, MD and Winchester, VA), and are working an active pipeline that includes at least 4-6 new stores for 2009-10.
