The popular fast-casual Mexican restaurant, Chipotle, is set to initiate home deliveries in 67 cities. The development was announced during the company’s quarterly earnings call, suggesting Chipotle is gearing up to join the ranks of Starbucks, who also have plans to test a delivery service through the same third-party operator in Seattle later this year. Boston University hospitality professor, Christopher Muller, interprets this as a response to changing retail environments influenced by internet shopping trends. More details regarding Chipotle’s home delivery plans can be found on USA Today. The accompanying photo is credited to Michael Saechang.
