Chipotle stores to open at 3 pm local time on Feb. 8

Chipotle’s sales figures have taken a massive low after a number of alarming outbreaks that were connected to the restaurant past year.

As a result, at least nine lawsuits were filed against Chipotle after people became ill from eating at the restaurants.

The CDC has not identified a cause for the health problems, but a lawyer told the Chicago Tribune that he represents 75 people who are suing the company over the safety of their food.

In a move that’s sure to sadden many burrito lovers, Chipotle is closing down all of its locations nationwide next month as it continues to sort through the ramifications of multiple norovirus and E. coli outbreaks.

The remarks from executives come after Chipotle’s sales plunged 30 percent in December.

During that time, Chipotle will be holding a company-wide meeting to address a series of health issues at its stores that have left hundreds sick and hammered the restaurant chain’s credibility for high-quality food.

Chipotle said the meeting would provide an opportunity to thank employees, discuss changes and answer questions.

The rise and fall of Chipotle has been one marked by E. coli outbreaks, declining stock and bad press. That sense of freshly prepared ingredients has been one of Chipotle’s attractions as it has sought to distinguish itself from traditional fast-food chains.

In an apology letter that ran in 61 newspapers December 16, Chipotle founder and Co-CEO Steve Ells discussed changes to the chain’s food safety procedures. In response, Chipotle closed 43 restaurants in the area, though only 11 were being investigated. “From that assessment we developed a food safety plan which we hope will establish Chipotle as a leader in food safety”.
