A Company that Cares

I love Chipotle Mexican Grill for many reasons – as a customer, former stockholder and community member. I’m not sure what my stance is on organics or growth hormones for cattle, but I appreciate that my fresh-mex joint of choice cares.



Mmm… Taste the fresh goodness. source


In a world where it’s so easy not to have an opinion, where the bottom line drives decision making, it’s refreshing (pun intended) to support an organization that can do well by doing good. Sure, they’re stock has gone wild and the sector is hot right now, but I’d like to think that their business model and corporate philosophy inform their success too.

Bottom line, public companies’ number one responsibility is to shareholders, I’m just saying that it’s nice that they care about what I think too. Very savvy branding! Chipotle, you’ve got a customer for life – many for life.

What’s your style? Not rhetorical.
I’m a bol, cilantro-lime rice, black beans, fajita mix, pico, corn and hot salsas, a half fwap of sour cream, cheese and lettuce. Just typing makes my mouth water.
