Abstract:

The case examines the business model of the US based fast casual restaurant chain, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (CMG). CMG was founded by Steve Ells (Ells) in 1993. The company, which initially sold burritos, was well known for its 'made to order' food and use of organic ingredients. In the late 1990s, the company started expanding rapidly throughout the US. In 2001, CMG released a mission statement called "Food with Integrity," which highlighted its commitment to naturally raise meat, organic produce, and dairy products without adding hormones. Apart from usage of organic ingredients, CMG's restaurant design, marketing strategy and culture of the company played an important role in its success.
