While many areas residents received a sneak peak Monday, Chipotle, (chi-POAT-lay) officially opens at the Shoppes at Farmington Valley today, Tuesday, Dec. 6.
The popular quick-service restaurant chain that, according to The Washington Post, “has long been a pioneer in bringing sustainable and organic food to the masses,” will start dishing up its award-winning gourmet burritos, bowls, tacos and salads to the public, according to a company press release.
Distinguished by fresh, high-quality food, cool decor and speedy service, Chipotle Mexican Grill plays a leading role in the quick-gourmet restaurant industry with its vision of Food with Integrity (FWI), the release states. Chipotle’s FWI philosophy stems from Founder, Chairman and CEO Steve Ells’ commitment to move the restaurant chain toward using all responsibly and sustainably farmed ingredients.

The design of each Chipotle also mirrors Ells' food philosophy. His team has incorporated the principals of sustainable architecture in all new building projects since 2001 and included many of those elements in existing Chipotles.
While all Chipotle restaurants use similar materials to achieve a sparse, clean, urban look, no two are alike. When possible, Chipotle uses existing space, incorporating its neighborhood feel for each restaurant.

"The design of our restaurants complements the food," Ells says. "The environment should add to the dining experience, not detract from it."
