CHIPOTLE

CDO Group has been a strategic execution partner for Chipotle, managing 78 new store projects—spanning construction management, site work, expedited permitting, scheduling, purchasing, and punch lists—with budgets typically ranging from $400K to $800K. Working closely with founding leadership and franchise systems, CDO helped translate Chipotle’s ethos of simple, high-quality ingredients into clean, efficient restaurant design while building long-term collaboration across operations and development teams. As the brand accelerates its aggressive expansion—targeting 315 to 345 new locations in 2025, with approximately 80% including drive-thru “Chipotlanes” to optimize mobile order throughput —CDO’s contributions ensure that each opening reflects operational excellence and brand consistency at scale.
