"We have applauded Chipotle a number of times. That a company like Chipotle can have a successful business model while not supporting the abuses in the agribusiness industry is a positive sign. Companies ought to be rewarded for helping to reduce animal suffering."¹

- Paul Shapiro, Senior Director of the 'Factory Farms Campaign' for the Humane Society of the United States², in July 2008.

"[Chipotle] is one of the best examples in the marketplace of a business with deeper values, deeper meaning, and ultimately deeper connections with their customer base, without being pretentious, boring, or finger pointing. Any business that can define a purpose bigger than their product will outperform businesses that are just selling product." ³

- Mats Lederhausen, Director, Chipotle Mexican Grill, in September 2006.

"We've done things differently since the beginning and I think we've proved that if you can create an experience and deliver food that is beyond the expectations of the customers, they will come and they will come often and they will be loyal and passionate about your restaurant. I think that's exciting."⁴
