Chipotle Mexican Grill is getting ready to serve its delicious bowls, burritos, tacos, and more in St. Johns, with a new location planned for 385 Beachwalk Shr Dr.
The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation recently approved the company to open a brand new site near the Crystal Lagoon at Beachwalk by Twin Creeks Development, according to a plan review application. The new Chipotle will sit down the street from the Shoppes at Beachwalk, making this an excellent location for the company. There’s no exact timeline for this site or if it will feature a Chipotlane drive-through, but this Chipotle will likely open sometime next year.
There are over 3,500 restaurants as of June 30, 2024, in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Kuwait, and it is the only restaurant company of its size that owns and operates all its restaurants in North America and Europe. Chipotle is ranked on the Fortune 500 and is recognized on Fortune’s Most Admired Companies 2024 list and Time Magazine’s Most Influential Companies. With over 120,000 employees passionate about providing a great guest experience, Chipotle is a longtime leader and innovator in the food industry.
One reason why Chipotle continues to stay in the conversation as one of the best fast-casual restaurants is for its nonstop effort to push the envelope for brand partnerships, as the company recently announced a collaboration with Wonderskin, an award-winning cosmetics brand known for its TikTok-viral lip stain that is so popular one is sold every 15 seconds, to introduce a guac-proof lip stain called ‘Lipotle.’ Created in a custom peelable green colorway, the masque will unveil a new nude-pink lip stain payoff, created exclusively for Chipotle in celebration of National Avocado Day, which was on July 31.
“With the popularity of mukbangs on social media, we noticed our fans are in need of a smudge-proof lip stain to enjoy their Chipotle on-the-go,” Stephanie Perdue, Vice President of Brand Marketing for Chipotle, said in a press release. “We teamed up with Wonderskin to create the most iconic guac and foil-inspired lip stain ahead of National Avocado Day.”
