Listen to this articleChipotle Mexican Grill is adding another restaurant in South Jersey.
Located at 5700 Route 42 in the Turnersville section of Washington Township, the popular fast-casual Mexican chain began serving up its customizable burritos, tacos, salads and bowls Oct. 21.
Founded in 1993, the Newport Beach, Calif.-based concept’s nationwide footprint of 3,800 restaurants includes 108 New Jersey locations.
Turnersville is among the latest Chipotle stores in New Jersey to feature the brand’s signature drive-thru lane that allows customers to pick up digital orders from their cars.
After debuting its “Chipotlane” in 2018, Chipotle has added it to more than 1,000 stores. According to the chain, new restaurant openings that feature the digital order pick-up lane have demonstrated higher volumes and greater returns than a traditional Chipotle restaurant format.
Company executives have said that more than 80% of the 315 to 345 restaurants it expects to open nationwide in 2025 will include drive-thru lanes. Of the 118 sites that have come online year to date, 105 have a Chipotlane, Chipotle recently reported.
Over the past five years, the brand has launched more than two dozen new locations with drive-thru lanes in New Jersey. Recent openings include Mount Olive, Avenel, Mercerville and Delran.
Following its grand opening, Chipotle in Turnersville is open daily from 10:45 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Hiring efforts are also underway for the restaurant, according to Chipotle.
Benefits include:
- Crew bonus with the opportunity to earn an extra month’s worth of pay each year
- Debt-free college program
- English as a second language program
- Access to mental health care resources for employees and their families
