Chipotle targets 350 new U.S. restaurants annually as it adds a late‑Nov 2024 location

Chipotle Mexican Grill plans to open a new restaurant in Anytown, USA in late November 2024, joining its rollout of a new outlet roughly every day as the chain works toward a 7,000‑unit goal in North America.

At the CREATE conference, CEO Scott Boatwright said the company will aim for about 350 new U.S. restaurants each year for the next decade, with the possibility of doubling its global footprint to roughly 14,000 locations over the next 10‑15 years. He stressed that growth must match the talent pipeline and leadership development to ensure operational quality.
