Instead, it has focused on reviving its U.S. sales after a series of foodborne illness outbreaks several years ago battered its business. <\/p>\n<p>To lure customers back, it implemented new safety measures and added menu items. It&#x27;s also been building locations with &quot;Chipotlanes,&quot; drive-thru lanes for digital order pickup.<\/p>\n<p>Worldwide, the company has more than 2,750 locations.<\/p>\n<p>The burrito chain will add eight new restaurants, including one with a Chipotlane. On March 30, Chipotle will open its first Canadian restaurant since 2018 in Surrey, British Columbia. The company currently operates 23 Canadian restaurants, most of which are concentrated in and around Vancouver and Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We will be experimenting with different location formats and restaurant designs throughout the country to gauge consumer preferences in the various markets,&quot; CFO Jack Hartung said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Shares of Chipotle have risen 4% so far in 2021, giving it a market value of $40.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/23\/chipotle-first-canadian-restaurant-since-2018-accelerate-expansion.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chipotle Mexican Grill plans to open eight restaurants in Canada over the next 12 months.
