DENVER, Sept. 19, 2016
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, Chipotle Mexican Grill,
Inc. (NYSE: CMG) announced a promotion to help make heading
back to school a little easier. During the entire month of
September, high school and college students with a valid ID can
enjoy free fountain soft drinks or iced tea with any in-store
entrée purchase.
"It can be tough when the end of the summer collides with the
reality of heading back to school," said Chris Arnold, communications director at
Chipotle. "We're filling – and refilling – students' cups at all
Chipotle locations to celebrate the beginning of the new academic
year."
Transactions that include the free student drink will still
count toward Chiptopia, Chipotle's loyalty program that rewards
customers who make multiple paid visits to Chipotle each month with
free food when transactions total at least six dollars.
The student drink promotion is open to high school (including
home schooled students), undergraduate or graduate college students
who present a valid ID. This promotion includes fountain soft
drinks and iced tea and excludes any bottled drinks (Izze,
Nantucket). Free drinks are limited to one per person, per visit,
and are only valid with in-store orders.

ABOUT CHIPOTLE
Steve
Ells, founder, chairman and co-CEO, started Chipotle with
the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast
food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu
of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla)
and salads made from fresh, high-quality raw ingredients, prepared
using classic cooking methods and served in a distinctive
atmosphere. Through our vision of Food With Integrity, Chipotle is
seeking better food from using ingredients that are not only fresh,
but that — where possible — are sustainably grown and raised
responsibly with respect for the animals, the land and the farmers
who produce the food. In order to achieve this vision, we focus on
building a special people culture that is centered on creating
teams of top performers empowered to achieve high standards. This
people culture not only leads to a better dining experience for our
customers, it also allows us to develop future leaders from within.
Chipotle opened with a single restaurant in 1993 and operates more
than 2,000 restaurants, including 24 Chipotle restaurants outside
the US and 14 ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen restaurants, and is
an investor in an entity that owns and operates four Pizzeria
Locale restaurants. For more information, visit Chipotle.com.
