Another hundred new campuses are expected to be added to the list by spring 2016.
Chipotle chief creative and development officer, Mark Crumpacker said, “Chipotle has been popular with students going back to our very first restaurant near the University of Denver,”
“And we are always looking for ways to better engage with them.”
