When it’s time for a cheap bit, few places pack more bang for your buck than Chipotle does. Founded in 1993 in Denver, Colorado, the massive food chain now runs over 2,300 locations, many of them located in the United States. Today, we are going to break down each of these locations according to their home state in order to determine the total number of Chipotle locations by state.
To get this data, 24/7 Wall Street used the publicly available list found on Chipotle’s website, titled “Locations.” In addition to the number of locations within the state, we’ve also compared the state on Google Maps to see how dispersed the locations are and which major cities in each state have the most locations. Let’s get started!
Alabama – 23

The majority of cities in the state have zero or one location.
Arizona – 92

Arkansas is on the lower end of the list, with a total of nine locations statewide.

The Golden State is home to an impressive 457 Chipotle locations, solidifying its status as a major hub for the chain and leading all of the states for total locations. Regarding cities, Los Angeles comes in first 25 restaurants, making it the city with the highest concentration in California, a number higher than entire states across the US. Following closely behind, San Diego holds a strong presence with 14 locations, while San Francisco rounds out the top three with 8.

Unsurprisingly, Denver leads the way with 15 Chipotle restaurants, solidifying its position as the birthplace of the chain. Following close after, Colorado Springs and Aurora contribute to the state’s Chipotle landscape, hosting nine and eight locations, respectively. Although Colorado isn’t as densely populated as many other states on the list, it likely has a high number of locations due to its being founded within the state.
Connecticut – 34

New York – 200

Another state with a lot of locations, New York, has 200 total Chipotles, most of them concentrated in a single area. The layout that Chipotle has is a little confusing, as it lists both New York City as a city while also listing each borough. From our research, it appears that “New York City” only refers to Manhattan. “New York City” has a total of 57 locations, the Bronx has 11, Brooklyn has 21, Queens has two, and Staten Island has two. Even still, the matter gets even more confusing because there are neighborhoods within New York City that are listed as their own city. For example, Jackson Heights (a neighborhood within Queens) is listed as having a location. The same problem exists for Long Island City, Astoria, and a few more.
North Carolina – 79

States With No Chipotle Locations
Unfortunately, not all states in the US are home to a Chipotle. Currently, there are no locations in two states, neither of which are in the contiguous US. Let’s take a look at them.
Alaska

Alaska is the largest state in the US and somehow isn’t home to a Chipotle. Unfortunately, it makes sense, as the supply chain for Chipotle doesn’t yet extend into the far northern reaches of North America. There are locations in Canada, but the company’s commitment to freshness makes it somewhat difficult to get ingredients to one of the most remote places in the world.
Hawaii

For many of the same reasons that Alaska doesn’t have Chipotle, Hawaii doesn’t either. The difficulty of crossing huge expanses of open land or sea makes getting fresh ingredients hard. Additionally, the added logistics can make certain locations less profitable, and that may be the case for both Alaska and Hawaii.
