Chipotle Mexican Grill to open downtown Detroit location

Chipotle Mexican Grill plans to open its first downtown Detroit location next spring.

Annie Gradinger, a spokesperson for the chain, said the restaurant will be at 630 Woodward Ave., Suite 620. It will occupy space in a Bedrock-owned building in the same block as Shake Shack.

The restaurant will offer a dine-in option as well as a walk-up window that Gradinger says will allow guests to conveniently pick up digital orders.

Chipotle has 55 restaurants in Michigan including one in Detroit at Radnor Street and Mack Avenue, near the city of Grosse Pointe. Crain’s Detroit Business first reported the upcoming downtown Detroit location. 

Gradinger said there are an average of 25 jobs per restaurant with employees having access to benefits including bonuses with the opportunity to earn an extra month’s worth of pay each year, a debt-free college degree program, English as a second language and access to mental healthcare.
