One of largest fast casual restaurants is headed to Pekin. See when it opens

A new Chipotle Mexican Grill franchise is set to open in Pekin this fall.

The franchise at 3440 Court Street is scheduled to open in late September at the former site of the Bob Evans restaurant, Chipotle spokesperson Mohit Patel said.

The new restaurant is located next to Starbucks and near the growing East Court Village shopping center, which this fall is opening three new national chain stores.

“It’s always exciting to see new businesses choose Pekin, because it means more jobs for our residents, more choices for our families, and another reason for visitors to stop and enjoy our community,” said Amy McCoy, the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce executive director. “Chipotle’s investment shows confidence in Pekin’s growth and the bright future we’re building together.”

The former site of a Bob Evans restaurant at 3440 Court Street in Pekin will soon be home to a Chipotle restaurant.

Chipotle has more than 3,800 locations worldwide, placing it among the top 20 fast food franchises in the world by numbers of locations. There are nearly 200 in Illinois, including two other locations in the Peoria area, near Northwoods Mall and another in the East Peoria Levee District.

The Pekin location will feature the brand’s signature “Chipotlane,” said Patel, a drive-thru pick-up lane that allows guests to pick up digital orders without leaving their cars.

“We are always looking for communities where we can serve responsibly sourced, classically cooked, real food and establish new local partnerships,” Patel said. “Pekin is a great fit.”

The Chipotle location is accepting applications for employees at the new location. Chipotle offers medical, dental, and health insurance and up to $5,250 a year in tuition assistance, Patel said.
