Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. shares closed down a modest 0.48% yesterday on nearly 300,000 shares traded. Despite the flat day of trading, Chipotle had some big news. The burrito restaurant chain announced that it would be adding mobile drive-thru windows at its restaurants across the country. So far stores in Tennessee, Ohio, Texas, and Massachusetts already offer the feature and more locations are expected. Customers will not be able to order food at the windows but will be able to pick up their orders after placing them on the company's app or online firm. According to chief digital and information officer, Curt Garner, "[CEO] Brian [Niccol] has said very well that Chipotle has this huge opportunity ahead of us as it relates to access. We still only have 2,500 locations. There are plenty of places and occasions for us to continue to grow into. But as we've looked at access, we've also looked at it in terms of different restaurant formats and these mobile drive-thru pick-up restaurants are part of that." The company also announced that it would be moving its corporate headquarters from Colorado to California. CEO Brian Niccol has said that the move will help drive sustainable growth and position the company to compete for top talent.
