About Chipotle Mexican Grill

We have been informed by Chipotle that they are Currently Not Seeking Franchisees

Founded by Steve Ells in 1993, Chipotle Mexican Grill is a Colorado-based chain of restaurants specializing in gourmet burritos and tacos. It is famous for its chunky guacamole, for its large burritos, and for being one of the first successful chains in the newer category of fast-casual dining establishment. Chipotle has an emphasis on quality, which results in slightly higher prices than other traditional fast food chains. Our menu is intentionally simple. By focusing on just a few menu items, we can concentrate our effort on doing a few things very well. We believe that by focusing on the details of quality, service and the Chipotle experience, we'll be able to bring great food and our vision to new customers and keep existing customers coming back. We believe that consumers' increasing concern about the food they eat will foster demand for higher-quality foods. We believe this, in turn, will attract the interest and capital investment of larger farms and suppliers, and help us make our food more accessible, although we'll continue to balance our interest in advancing "food with integrity" with our desire to provide great food at reasonable prices.

About Bubbakoo's Burritos

Welcome to Bubbakoo's Burritos
Back in 2008, the first Bubbakoo's Burritos opened its doors in Point Pleasant, New Jersey and immediately became known as a place to relax while enjoying an awesome meal made with the freshest ingredients around town. Our mission was clear: leverage our past food service experience to serve up high-quality products in a cool, family-friendly environment - and develop a business that allowed us to create an ideal balance of flavor, freshness, fun, and opportunity. Given the undeniable popularity of the first Bubbakoo's Burritos location, it wasn't long before guests started asking for other locations within their own communities; now, just a few years later, Bubbakoo's Burritos has expanded to multiple locations along the Jersey Shore and has served thousands of its legendary burritos to its nearby guests. But that simply isn't enough. Thanks to our guests' loyalty and compelling demand for our delicious creations, Bubbakoo's Burritos is now expanding even further - perhaps even in your home town!
