Chipotle Mexican Grill opened its first location in Fort Liberty on Monday, Sept. 30. The restaurant features the brand’s signature Chipotlane, a drive thru pick-up lane that allows guests to conveniently pick up digital orders without leaving their cars.
The new location can be found at 5460 Gruber Rd on Fort Liberty. Chipotle is open seven days a week from 10:45 a.m. until 10 p.m.
This location will also feature a new menu item.
Fort Liberty guests can try Chipotle’s tender, Mexican-inspired Smoked Brisket, available for a limited time.
Smoked Brisket has remained a top requested menu item for Chipotle to bring back among fans on social media since it was first introduced three years ago.
"We are listening to our guests and bringing this fan-favorite menu innovation out of the vault after three years," said Chief Brand Officer Chris Brandt in a press release. "This premium protein is sure to delight guests looking to taste the difference of brisket prepared the Chipotle way."
Chipotle is hiring at the Fort Liberty location and across the U.S. There are approximately 30 jobs per location, with competitive benefits, including:
