At the beginning of last year, rumors started circling that there was a Chipotle coming to Greenville. Now, almost a year later, there is still no sign of the delicious Mexican restaurant among us ECU students. Coming back to school and finding out that Chipotle is STILL not here is a major disappointment to say the least. 

I know that I am not the only one who is extremely anxious for it’s arrival and here’s why: 

1) Guacamole lovers unite: A lot of the other Mexican restaurants similar to Chipotle appeal more to the people who are a fan of “queso” which is a cheese dip. Chipotle on the other hand, offers guacamole as a side and could appeal to a whole lot more customers who would prefer guacamole to queso.     

2) Devoted and hungry customers: It seems as though Chipotle has a wide range of devoted customers who prefer its food to any other restaurant that is similar. Chipotle has a lot of diehard fans that would make it one of the most popular places to eat if it comes to Greenville. 

3) You can never have too many options for places to eat: Although Greenville has a ton of places to eat, whenever my friends and me are hungry we can never choose where we want to go. Having a Chipotle in Greenville would make that choice a whole lot easier. 

4) It will benefit Greenville as a whole, not just the people eating it: Having a Chipotle in Greenville will make the city more desirable and a better place in general. Based on the popularity of Chipotle, I'm sure a lot more people would want to come and visit/live here! So this is a win/win situation for Chipotle, Greenville, and everyone who lives here.

5) Happiness for everyone: Overall, Chipotle would be an amazing asset to Greenville and would be sure to satisfy a lot of peoples burrito/bowl needs. Queso lovers can go to Moe’s while guacamole lovers go to Chipotle, which means peace and happiness for all. 

Greenville needs a Chipotle to bring more people and variety to the city. It will make for a perfect balance of happiness and filling hungry stomachs. So let’s all cross our fingers and hope that we don’t have to wait much longer for this awesome establishment to grace our presence!
