Chipotle, the Mexican grill brand, has acquired a seventh London site – its first in the Square Mile.

Chipotle will invest in a refit of the 1,493 sq ft London Wall site including putting in one of its bespoke kitchens.

Jacob Sumner, London managing director at Chipotle, said: “We are delighted to continue our growth in London. Our customers are responding very positively to Chipotle, and as we continue to develop our teams and provide an exceptional experience, we will look to grow sustainably and sensibly in the right locations across London and into the UK.”

Thomas Rose, head of leisure & restaurants at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “London Wall is a great acquisition for Chipotle, the dynamic City market will provide a new trade zone for the brand as it expands into new areas across the capital. This site will be the first of several new strategic growth locations over the coming years.”

Cushman & Wakefield is retained for all acquisitions on behalf of Chipotle. Fawcett Mead acted for the landlord.
