Chipotle Mexican Grill is coming to Mexico.
California -based chain said on Monday that it was planning to open a restaurant in Mexico early next year in the south of the border in 30 years of history.
Chipotle is part of Alcia in Mexico City, a company that operates Domino, Starbucks, Berger King, Chile and other brands in South America and Europe. Alsia plans to explore additional expansion in Mexico and other locations in the region.
Chiptal’s chief business development officer, Nat Lon, said the company is confident that its menu will resonate with Mexican dinners.
“The country’s familiarity with our elements and fresh food with our elements said it creates an attractive growth market for our company.”
The expansion has reached the cost of President Donald Trump’s tariff on Mexican imports.
Last week, the US Commerce Department reported that they had plans to withdraw from the 2019 contract by postponing an antidamping investigation into new tomato imports from Mexico. This completion, set for effect on July 14, will be subject to 20.91% of most tomatoes from Mexico.
The chipotle has received about half of its avocado from Mexico, but not yet subject to tariffs.
The chipotle, which was established in Denver in 1993, has 3,700 restaurants and planned to open 345 new locations this year.
It has been focused on increasing its international footprint. Last year, it was parted with the Al -Shaya Group to open a restaurant in Kuwait within a decade. It now has three restaurants in Kuwait and two in the UAE.
