Stephen Formanoiwcz Week 1 My primary stock is Chipotle Mexican Grill. Chipotle is a chain restaurant in United States, United Kingdom, Canada,Germany and France. Steve Ells started the first Chipotle in Denver Colorado in 1993. McDonald's started investing in Chipotle in 1998 and by 2001 McDonald's had become Chipotle’s largest investor.

occupancy costs (37% of revenue in the most recent quarter) are dramatically higher than Chipotle's (29% of revenue), even when factoring in the benefit of Panera's breakfast revenue.

Furthermore, distribute informative brochures that can be placed
Qdoba Mexican Grill is personally my favorite place to get food and never seems to disappoint me when I’m hungry. Not only is it my favorite place to eat, but it is also a very well structured company. In this paper I will take a look at Qdoba’s history, their stock, what its like to own a franchise, who there main competitor is, and why I love to go there.

ShopHouse is a very valuable firm in regards to its resources, capabilities, and core competencies. Chipotle, as ShopHouse’s parent company, has a deep commitment to serving “Food with Integrity,” high quality food that comes from from more human farming environments (Thompson et al. c-118). Another huge resource that ShopHouse has to support its growth efforts and help it succeed is the knowledge of the companies in the same industry that have already been successful, namely McDonald’s and Chipotle
