Chipotle, which has already invested in two smaller chains, is considering opening another restaurant concept focused on hamburgers, according to Chris Arnold, a spokesman for the Denver-based company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a growth seed idea we are exploring,&#8221; he said in an e-mail. &#8220;We have two non-Chipotle growth seeds open now &#8212; ShopHouse and Pizzeria Locale &#8212; and have noted before that the Chipotle model could be applied to a wide variety of foods.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even as it mulls expansion, the burrito seller is trying to recover from a <a href=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/cdc-declares-chipotle-e-coli-outbreak-over\/\">food-safety crisis that began last year<\/a>. The company suffered a series of E. coli and norovirus outbreaks, driving away customers and spurring an investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The fallout is ongoing: Same-store sales tumbled 26 percent in February, and the company expects to report a loss in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>A burger chain would give Chipotle a way to expand under a fresh banner. It also would continue efforts to apply the fast-casual model &#8212; fresh ingredients and customized menu items &#8212; to other cuisines. Chipotle opened its first ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen in Washington in 2011. The noodle-selling chain has since expanded to Los Angeles and Chicago. Chipotle also has invested in Pizzeria Locale, a fast-casual restaurant that started in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(c) 2016, Bloomberg \u00b7 <span class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\">Leslie Patton<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chipotle Mexican Grill may be getting into the burger business.
