What Is Chipotle?
These days consumers are more sensitive to issues dealing with food safety. There are many bacterias in food these days that people don't even know about. For example: in 2009 salmonella had an outbreak by A man named Stewart Parnell. He shipped peanut butter with salmonella and, there were nine deaths linked to the company's plant, which resulted in twenty eight years in prison for Parnell.
In December Chipotle was served with a subpoena. In 2011 the FDA was signed into a law. Ever since then they have been investigating on food safety. E. coli is Chipotle’s problem. Their sales went down 30% from A year earlier, according to the SEC filing.
E. coli was such a problem for chipotle it closed down 43 restaurants in Washington, and Oregon... after 22 cases were linked to the restaurants. Thankfully those restaurants have been re opened.

coli. In December 53 people in 9 states were also affected. Chipotle’s sales sunk nearly 5%.
Roberts said, companies have been able to rebound from food safety problems from food safety problems. Taco Bell, and Jack in the box recovered from an E. coli outbreak, will Chipotle?
In my opinion I think Chipotle WILL recover from this E. coli outbreak because, many people don't care they don't think they will get sick or they think nothing like that will ever happen to them. So they just keep going to the same restaurants because it tastes good. Eventually the problem will die down and go away and then there will be a new restaurant having bigger

    The history of Chipotle plays a huge part in the fast-casual industry. Its Founder Steve Ells originally worked at the Stars restaurant in San Francisco. He left his job to pursue his dream of opening a fine-dining restaurant but didn’t have the funds to do so. He opened the first Chipotle in 1993 in order to help him fund his dream restaurant. Before he knew it Chipotle took off and became a leader in the fast-casual industry. He started with an $85,000 loan from his father and by 2001 McDonald’s was Chipotle’s largest investor.

    Chipotle Mexican Grill was a concept turned reality by a gentleman by the name of Steve Ells. Chipotle Mexican Grill provides excellent Mexican cuisine driven by a concept of “Food with Integrity”. The first chipotle Mexican grill was opened in 1993 in Denver Colorado. By the end of 1995 there were three. In 1996 alone, Steve Ells opened five more Denver-area restaurants growing by a total of eight stores in three years. By 1998 Chipotle Mexican Grill was showing much promise. In order to meet their growth needs Chipotle took on outside investors. In 1999 they opened their first out-of-state stores in Minnesota and Ohio. As Steve was seeing rapid growth with his company, he was also noticing significant issues with the quality of the food being desired in this industry. After learning how pork was traditionally raised in the United States Steve Ells started his business down a new path. This lead to the concept of “Food with Integrity” , which was as a result of Steve’s decision to sell only the highest quality organic and naturally raised foods. Chipotle Mexican Grill continues to grow rapidly and in 2006 went public on the New York Stock Exchange. By 2012, Chipotle Mexican Grill had over 1400 company-owned stores taking over as the number two Mexican fast food restaurant for total sales in the US market. Today the overall business environment for Chipotle Mexican Grill is very good. The company has grown by over 50% since 2010 and is seeing increases in revenue averaging between 18% and 20% each year. Since going public the company has seen a 4000% return in their stock prices. Chipotle Mexican Grill continues to grow an average of 150+ stores per year. Based on their financial reporting for 2013 they had reached $3.21 billion in revenue. The significant amount of growth…

    Menu Foods did not institute a product recall until March 16, 2007, 24 hours after the FDA initiated it, which demonstrated that Menu Foods lacked a quick response to the crisis. For example, on March 15, 2007, the FDA initiated a pet food recall; however, Menu Foods did not announce its own recall until a day later on March 16. This 24-hour gap indicated Menu Foods’ did not have a quick response, which demonstrated that the company did not realize how serious this issue would become.

    Chipotle Mexican Grill, aims to do a few things but do them exceptionally well. When Chipotle (pronounced chi-POAT-lay) opened its first store in 1993, the idea was simple: demonstrate that food served fast didn't have to be a "fast-food" experience. We use high-quality raw ingredients, classic cooking methods and distinctive interior design--features that are more frequently found in the world of fine dining. When we opened, there wasn't an industry category to describe what we were doing. Some 16 years and more than 900 restaurants later, we compete in a category of dining now called "fast-casual," the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry, where customers expect food quality that's more in line with full-service restaurants, coupled with the speed and convenience of fast food.…
