Description: CMG Chipotle Mexican Grill December 02, 2025
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) operates a chain of fast-casual restaurants serving a menu of burritos, bowls, tacos, salads and related items, with additional delivery and digital ordering via its app and website. The brand is present in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Dubai, and the United Kingdom, and is headquartered in Newport Beach, California.
Key performance indicators to watch include same-store sales (comps) which have been growing ~12% YoY in 2023, digital sales now representing roughly 55% of total revenue, and average ticket size hovering around $12.5. Primary economic drivers are discretionary consumer spending trends, commodity price volatility (especially avocados and meat), and labor cost inflation, while sector-wide pressures such as rising rent and competition from other fast-casual concepts also shape results.
