Chipotle is implementing a “Recipe for Growth” strategy in 2026 to address challenges faced in 2025, including dropping comparable sales and operating margins. The plan involves opening 350 to 370 new locations, including international expansion into Mexico and Asia, raising prices by a modest 1% to 2% (below expected inflation), and introducing new limited-time menu items such as the re-release of Chicken al Pastor. Additionally, the company will update its technology, revamp its rewards program, and install new equipment in 2,000 stores to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction.
