As a result, Chipotle now runs nearly 3000 restaurants in the United States alone. As of December 2021, the leading fast-casual Mexican chain employed 97,660 people.
Chipotle Mexican Grill celebrated the 21st year of Boorito, a fan-favorite Halloween event, in style on October 28, 2021. On that day, it became the first restaurant brand to launch a virtual location on Roblox, a global platform that connects millions of people through shared experiences.
Chipotle Mexican Grill became the first brand to enable Roblox players to exchange in-experience currency for real-world items on April 7, 2022, at the event of National Burrito Day, by launching Chipotle Burrito Builder on Roblox, a new simulation experience.
In this experience, players were tasked with rolling burritos in the metaverse to earn Burrito Bucks, the brand’s in-app currency on Roblox. These Burrito Bucks can later be redeemed for an entrée code redeemable on the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com, or Chipotle.ca.
