According to a recent permit filing, Chipotle Mexican Grill plans to expand to Bellingham with a new location at 104 N Samish Way.
According to an article from the Bellingham Herald, “The new restaurant is planned to open this summer, according to an email from Annie Gradinger with Chipotle’s external communications.”
“But this chain restaurant will be unique compared to other Chipotles in the area, as it will have a drive-thru called a “Chipotlane.” This is not your traditional drive-thru, as the “Chipotlane”, will be a drive-thru pickup lane that will allow customers to pick up their orders made in the app without getting out of their car. New orders cannot be placed in the drive-thru.”
“Chipotle’s only current Whatcom County location is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. inside the Bellis Fair mall at 1 Bellis Fair Parkway in Bellingham.”
Chipotle’s website states, “Chipotle was born of the radical belief that there is a connection between how food is raised and prepared, and how it tastes. Real is better. Better for You, Better for People, Better for Our Planet. It may be the hard way to do things, but it’s the right way.”
