Worth Repeating: Chipotle Gets Spiced Up

As chosen by you, here are the most popular stories OF ALL TIME (aka last week). Just in case you missed it.

Same favorite fast-food eatery, same delicious, gargantuan burritos. But their look is getting a makeover. Yes, the popular go-to Mexican grill is trading in their old restaurant design for a more refined modern look. We thought they were already modern but…whatever. The Chipotle redesign will be done by Architecture Outfit, who is taking on the challenge of making a big impact without having a multitude of different materials, colors, and furniture, while still creating a lively atmosphere.

The new spaces will contain what the firm describes as “monster-sized banquets, super graphics, living walls, a long thin kitchen, and 14′ ceiling fans.” The new redesigns will emphasize family seating spaces, along with on-the-go seating. You can also expect some scaled-up art work to accent the surrounding plywood walls. No cue as to when the Phoenix and surrounding area locations will be remodeled, although we’ve heard rumors that test-marketed brown rice is at select locations. So it looks like we won’t be waning our Chipotle addiction anytime soon. Darn.
