The first 50 people at the new restaurant on opening day will
receive Chipotle Goods
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.,
Oct. 22, 2021 /CNW/ -- Chipotle
Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) announced it is opening a new restaurant
in Port Coquitlam, BC on
Monday, October 25, which features
Canada's first Chipotlane, the
brand's drive-thru digital order pickup lane. To celebrate the
monumental occasion, the brand will be offering the first 50 guests
at the restaurant, located at 2325 Ottawa Street, Chipotle
keychains and t shirts. Hours of operation are 10:45 a.m. – 10:00
p.m. daily.
To date, Chipotle has approximately 280 Chipotlanes located in
the U.S., which allow guests to place their order in advance via
the Chipotle app or Chipotle website and simply drive up to grab
their meal. Chipotlanes differ from the traditional Chipotle layout
by increasing access and convenience with a speedy and seamless
guest experience. Chipotle currently has 25 restaurants in
Canada and plans to open three
additional restaurants in British
Columbia and Ontario before
the end of the year.
"We are excited to provide Port
Coquitlam guests the option to grab their digital Chipotle
orders without ever leaving their car," said Anat Davidzon, Managing Director, Chipotle
Canada. "The new location will also bring additional career
opportunities to the area for residents interested in cultivating a
better world through real food."
In August, Chipotle increased restaurant wages in Canada resulting in a $15 CAD minimum hourly rate in Ontario restaurants, and $16 CAD minimum hourly rate in British Columbia restaurants. In addition to
robust benefits and a competitive hourly rate, Chipotle's crew
members can advance to a Restaurateur, the highest General Manager
position, in as little as three and a half years, with an average
compensation of more than $125,000
CAD while leading a multi-million-dollar growing
business. Chipotle also offers a Cultivate Education program,
which allows eligible employees to be reimbursed for tuition up
to $5,250 CAD per year in qualifying programs. The full
suite of benefits includes access to healthcare, retirement
savings, free mental health benefits for employees and family
members, and more.
In an added effort to boost its recruiting efforts in the
region, Chipotle recently introduced a $200 CAD referral bonus for employees who refer a
crew member and a $750 CAD referral
bonus for employees who refer an Apprentice or General Manager in
Canada.
