How Many Chipotle Locations Are There?
How many Chipotle locations are there has a precise answer, because Chipotle reports it quarterly to regulators. As of 30 June 2026 the figure was 4,201, split between company-owned restaurants and a small number run by international partners. The more interesting numbers are the ones underneath: how fast it is growing, how many are drive-thrus, and where they are concentrated.
4,201 restaurants as of 30 June 2026 — Chipotle own wording is over 4,200. That breaks down as 4,074 in the United States, 112 international company-owned, and 15 partner-operated. Of those, 1,500 are Chipotlanes as of 29 September 2026. The long-term target is 7,000 in the US and Canada.
- 4,201 restaurants as of 30 June 2026.
- 4,074 in the United States, 112 international company-owned.

- Target is 7,000 in the US and Canada; it is over halfway.
The Current Count
Chipotle reports this every quarter in its filings, which makes it one of the few figures about the company you can state precisely. As of 30 June 2026:
| Category | Restaurants |
|---|---|
| United States, company-owned | 4,074 |
| International, company-owned (Canada and Europe) | 112 |
| International, partner-operated | 15 |
| Total | 4,201 |
Chipotle own phrasing in its materials is over 4,200 restaurants. By the time you read this the number will be higher, because it is opening roughly one a day.
How Many Are Drive-Thrus
1,500 Chipotlanes as of 29 September 2026, when the 1,500th opened at Bradenton, Florida — a restaurant that also debuted Chipotle new Habanero design and a high-efficiency equipment package.
The growth rate here is the striking part:
- Format introduced in 2018.
- 1,000th opened in November 2024.
- 1,500th opened in September 2026 — 500 added in under two years.
Chipotle says Chipotlanes have consistently delivered higher volumes and returns than traditional restaurants, making the format its preferred option for new development. In the second quarter of 2026, 80 of its 100 new restaurants included one.
A Chipotlane is a drive-thru for collecting digital orders only — you cannot order at the window. Our pickup guide explains how it works.
How Fast It Is Growing
| Year end | Total restaurants |
|---|---|
| 2010 | 1,084 |
| 2015 | 2,010 |
| 2021 | 2,966 |
| 2024 | 3,726 |
| 2025 | 4,042 company-owned, plus 14 partner-operated |
| June 2026 | 4,201 |
Chipotle opened 334 company-owned restaurants in 2025, 257 of them with a Chipotlane, plus 11 partner-operated in the Middle East. It also closed 13 permanently and relocated five.
2026 plans: 350 to 370 openings, including 10 to 15 partner-operated, with around 80 percent of new company restaurants getting a Chipotlane. Florida alone is expected to grow its footprint by about 17 percent during 2026, creating roughly 1,500 restaurant jobs.
The 4,000th restaurant opened on 12 December 2025 in Manhattan, Kansas, with leadership ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell that morning. The long-term target is 7,000 restaurants in the United States and Canada, and Chipotle said in December 2025 that it is now over halfway there.
Where They Are
Chipotle manages its United States operations across 12 regions, up from 11 at the end of 2025. Its store directory covers 48 states plus Washington DC — there are no Chipotles in Alaska or Hawaii.
On the state ranking, a caveat matters: Chipotle stopped publishing a state-by-state table in its annual reports after about 2016, so there is no official figure. Counting the store pages in Chipotle own directory in October 2026 gives:
| State | Approximate restaurants |
|---|---|
| California | ~535 |
| Texas | ~376 |
| Florida | ~329 |
| Ohio | ~271 |
| New York | ~256 |
| Illinois | ~190 |
| Pennsylvania | ~157 |
| Virginia | ~151 |
