Chipotle: Nationally Scaled Fresh-Food Supply Chain, Mission-Infused Brand

Todd Wenning of Ensemble Capital presented his investment thesis on Chipotle Mexican Grill (US: CMG) at Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2021.

Thesis summary:

Five years after an embarrassing national foodborne illness outbreak, Chipotle is running better than ever and has upsized ambitions, not just in the U.S. market, but around the world. It is benefiting from nascent national scale benefits, a loyal and growing fan base, a leading digital-first strategy, and an emphasis on creating stakeholder value.

Executing fresh food preparation at a national and global level is not easy to do – Chipotle learned this lesson the hard way – and no one is even close to catching Chipotle on this front. As global food preferences turn towards healthier options, Chipotle is becoming a dominant QSR brand.
