Project Summary:
Wilkus Architects has partnered with Chipotle Mexican Grill since 1998, supporting the brand’s growth for decades as a trusted architectural partner. Our long-standing relationship has evolved alongside Chipotle’s expansion, allowing us to play a key role in shaping and refining the brand’s physical environment across markets nationwide.
Wilkus Architects has led and supported the development of multiple Chipotle prototype iterations, ensuring consistency of brand identity while adapting designs to changing operational needs, site constraints, and evolving customer expectations. Our work spans tenant improvements, freestanding locations, and complex urban infill sites, with a strong focus on efficiency, constructability, and speed-to-market.
More recently, our team has assisted Chipotle in the rollout of Chipotlane pickup windows, supporting the integration of digital ordering, drive-thru functionality, and updated kitchen workflows. These enhancements required thoughtful coordination between architecture, operations, and site planning to seamlessly incorporate new service models while maintaining the core Chipotle guest experience.
We value our decades-long partnership with Chipotle Mexican Grill and are proud to continue supporting the brand’s innovation, scalability, and national growth.
