With about 200 restaurants opening per year and a push into Canada planned, Chipotle is positioning its brand for nimble growth with innovative new formats. The Newport Beach, Calif.-based chain has plans to grow locations with “Chipotlane” drive-thrus, for example, and it is testing digital-only kitchens with no dining room or front service line. The chain is also working to improve delivery and “carside,” or curbside, service.
In other news, Jack in the Box has teamed up with pop star and TikTok sensation Jason Derulo to launch a virtual pop up in Los Angeles, offering menu items inspired by the Milli Meals that Derulo makes in celebration every time he gets another million followers on the social media platform.
