Wikipedia's Chipotle's Mexican Grill page which says things I didn't know.
First, Chipotle is a Denver, CO based company. The place started here! Wow.
Second, McDonald's doesn't own any part of them anymore. in 2005, it controlled 92% of the stocks, but for undisclosed reasons, divested totally in 2006. Maybe because they started their own burrito interest in McD's, there's no more Chipotle McBurrito.
Third, Their meat is mostly organic or at least very "natural" and with so many stores, so much demand, they have remarkable clout.
Fourth, all locations are corporately owned, not franchised.
Lastly, the original location of Chipotle is the one I enjoy the least, near Denver University on Evans Ave. It's a micro Chipotle with, like three tables and a line that usually goes out the door. Blew my mind when I read it was the original location. I found a site with photos of it here: Picures of the original DU Chipotle
Ok, that's it.
