    Financial Analysis: Chipotle

    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.

    Chipotle Financial Analysis

    The company selected for our financial analysis project is Chipotle Mexican Grill. Chipotle (for short) is a company that is a major player in the fast food and restaurant industry. The name “chipotle” is derived from the Mexican Spanish name for a smoked, dried Jalapeno pepper. The restaurant sells large burritos and bowls in an assembly line production system where all the condiments are arranged and all the customer has to do is request what they want their burrito to consist of. This in turn lends itself to an air of individuality (creating multiple combinations and choices for the clientele). The Corporation trades under the ticker symbol CMG on the New York Stock Exchange. The most recent Fiscal Year End was December 31st 2011 and traditionally the end of the fiscal year/end of the fourth quarter is when Chipotle earns the greatest amount of revenue. The Company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado and was incorporated in Delaware in 1993. Chipotle’s major competitors include Cheese Cake Factory, Baja Sol, Boston Market and Qdoba to name a few.…
