According to a recent permit filing, Chipotle will expand to a new location in Vancouver, located at 13909 NE 10th Avenue.
A representative of Chipotle was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, Chipotle’s inception began in 1993 with a mission to serve food with integrity while reshaping the fast food industry.
Chipotle’s journey is stated to have begun with a radical belief that the quality of food’s sourcing and preparation is intrinsically linked to its taste. Their mantra is simple: Real is better, better for you, better for people, and better for our planet.
As a pioneer, Chipotle was among the first national restaurant brands to set forth commitments regarding local and organic produce. Their dedication to responsible sourcing extended to using only humanely raised meat, adhering to some of the most stringent animal welfare standards.
In 2022, Chipotle embarked on a journey by giving life to Cultivate Next, a visionary venture fund. The establishment of this fund marks a strategic initiative, aiming to provide early-stage investments to companies that align with Chipotle’s mission to “Cultivate a Better World.”
Cultivate Next sets its sights on startups in their seed to Series B stages. These carefully selected investments are pivotal in driving forward Chipotle’s strategic priorities. The fund seeks to fortify the foundations for running exceptional restaurants, propelling innovation and technology, advancing the noble mission of food with integrity, and ultimately broadening access and convenience for consumers, according to the company website.
