Chipotle Mexican Grill Comments on its Plans for New Lake Wales Location

Date:

A representative from Chipotle Mexican Grill, one of several national chain restaurants rumored to be eyeing locations in the Lake Wales area, has confirmed a few more details on its plans to move in.

Annie Gradinger, a senior analyst in external communications, says that progress is being made on the Lake Wales location on Hwy. 27, a couple of doors down from a future Starbucks that plans to open later this year.

“We are currently scheduled to open a new location in Lake Wales this fall,” Gradinger said last week.

The representative added that with the new location comes additional local job opportunities.

“There are on average 30 jobs per location, with competitive benefits, including:

  • A $200 CAD referral bonus for employees who refer a crew member and a $750 CAD referral bonus for employees who refer an Apprentice or General Manager.
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Retirement savings matching
  • Access to mental healthcare for employees”

While the construction of the new restaurant doesn’t visibly look very far along yet, it appears that it may not be too long before you can order that burrito bowl you’ve been craving.
